John Mara: I initiated conversation with Reese to get a look at other QBs.

John Mara: I expected an emotional reaction from fans. It's been in excess of what I expected. Given what he has meant to our franchise it's understandable.

John Mara: He understands at some pt we had to look at the other QBs because he's not going to play forever.

John Mara: I was hoping it would turn out differently, he would continue to play a portion of the games. He didn't want to do it that way.

Mara said the situation could have been handled differently but added at the end of the day it’s been made.
Tom Rock @tomrock_Newsday

John Mara: I had some pause (after Eli said he wouldn't play with the Giants plan). Once I realized he had slept on it overnight and that was his decision, we went ahead.
