Despite expectations of the franchise turning the page, the New York Giants are running it back with head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen.

But make no mistake about it: It might not be for long. Owner John Mara made that very clear on Monday by sending a stern warning when asked by the media about an expected timeline for improvement. 

"It better not take too long, because I've just about run out of patience," Mara told reporters after releasing a statement announcing the return of Daboll and Schoen. 

Two key takeaways from Mara's comments: 

  1. There's pressure on Daboll and Schoen: Despite ownership showing confidence on the team's leader of men, it's not showing patience. That has strong implications for the Giants' decision-making this offseason. There's no question they'll have to be active in free agency to improve the roster. The Giants currently rank 15th in cap space for 2025 and can open up additional space through restructures of key figures on the team such as Andrew Thomas, Brian Burns, and Dexter Lawrence. 
  2. What does this mean for the quarterback position? The above implies urgency to win and the Giants might not get that even if they land a quarterback at third overall in April, which isn't even a guarantee with the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns picking ahead of them. That might mean the Giants will be in the running for top available quarterbacks around the league. That might include names like Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers, and Sam Darnold. If Daboll and Schoen are running out of time, they need a quarterback that can play in September of this year, not one they need to develop.
