5 QBs who could be Giants Week 1 2024 starter with Daniel Jones injured

4. QB Tyrod Taylor

Tyrod Taylor is in the last year of his contract, but could he be willing to return for another season on a new deal? No, Taylor isn't the long-term option for this team, but he could be a solid option for the short term next season either as a solid back-up signal-caller, or a veteran QB to help bring along a youngster if Schoen goes that direction.

With the way the season has played out, it really does feel like the Giants will be in a position to use their upcoming first-round pick on a new quarterback. Schoen took a gamble in giving Jones his four-year, $160 million extension and it has proven to be a major mistake from him. Hey, we can't turn back the clock, so all we can do is focus on what's to come down the road.

If Taylor does return on a one-year contract, we actually wouldn't mind seeing him start Week 1 over a rookie. Taylor, who unfortunately suffered a rib injury vs. the Jets and is currently on Injured Resere, powered the Giants to a thrilling win over the Commanders not long ago. In that win, he tossed for two touchdowns. He's proven he can step up when Brian Daboll needs him.
