Job 1 for New York Giants GM Joe Schoen this offseason is to solidify the quarterback position. Unfortunately, it won’t be possible to do that before the season starts. Schoen probably thought he’d already done it by signing Daniel Jones to a four-year contract with an out after two years, Tyrod Taylor to a two-year contract the year before, and Tommy DeVito as an undrafted free agent. (Schoen may well have intended to draft a backup in 2023 to replace Taylor but gave up several picks to move up for Tae Banks and Jalin Hyatt.)
It didn’t work out that way because of the Giants’ horrendous early schedule, an offensive line that was somehow much worse than the unsatisfactory 2022 OL, Jones’ poor play until he got hurt in Miami, and his second, season-ending ACL injury as soon as he returned.
