Daniel Jones, the starting quarterback for the New York Giants, faces increased pressure following a poor performance in Week 1, raising concerns about his job security. A $23 million injury guarantee in his contract could lead the Giants to bench him to avoid a payout if he suffers an injury and cannot pass a physical after the season. This scenario mirrors past situations with other quarterbacks like Russell Wilson and Jimmy Garoppolo, where teams opted for strategic benching late in the season. Backup quarterback Drew Lock, who has not taken starting reps during practice, remains ready to step in if needed. As the Giants prepare for their next game, the focus is on whether Jones can regain his confidence and performance level to stave off calls for a change. With the team already facing a tough season, the stakes are high for Jones to prove himself.
