Daniel Jones, headed for injured reserve and surgery to repair his torn right ACL, was in no mood on Wednesday to entertain questions about his future as the New York Giants starting quarterback.
“I think I’m focused on what I’m doing right now and trying to get my knee ready for this surgery and ready for the process to come back stronger,” Jones said. “In terms of my future and what I’m thinking about it’s that. It’s to attack this process and come back stronger and a better football player.”
Jones’ latest injury, combined with two neck injuries in three seasons, poor play this season, his having only year of guaranteed money left on his contract and the likelihood the Giants will have an early draft pick have led many to think the team will select a potential successor in the 2024 NFL Draft.
