New York Giants president and co-owner John Mara has announced he is undergoing treatment after being diagnosed with cancer.
The 70-year-old, who has served as one of the NFL’s most influential executives, issued a public statement on Monday addressing his health, reassuring fans and the football world that he remains optimistic and intends to continue his role with the team.

“I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and have been following the treatment plan recommended by an outstanding team of doctors,” John Mara said in the statement. “I’m feeling strong and optimistic, and I’m committed to seeing this through to a positive outcome.
I plan to remain active with the team throughout my treatment, and I’m fortunate to be surrounded by incredible support, personally, professionally, and medically. I ask that you respect my privacy and my family’s privacy at this time.”
A legacy of leadership, and resilience, within the Giants franchise
The Mara family has been at the helm of the New York Giants since the franchise’s inception.
John Mara‘s grandfather, Tim Mara, founded the team in 1925. Since then, the team has remained under the stewardship of the family for nearly a century.
This latest diagnosis continues a tragic familial pattern, as both Tim Mara and Wellington Mara, John’s father, also died of cancer.
Despite these personal losses, the family has continued to play a central role in shaping not just the Giants, but the broader structure and integrity of the National Football League.
In 1991, the Mara family sold a 50% stake in the team to the Tisch family, forming a long-standing partnership that still governs the franchise today.
Despite this shared ownership, John Mara has remained one of the most prominent and hands-on owners in the NFL, respected across the league for his leadership and deep understanding of the game.
Under his tenure, the Giants have won two Super Bowls and navigated both highs and challenges on and off the field.
Off the field, Mara has taken part in critical NFL decision-making, serving on various league committees and helping to shape collective bargaining agreements and broadcasting rights.
As the 2025 NFL season progresses, John Mara‘s determination to stay actively involved with the team, even during treatment, reflects his deep commitment to the franchise and its legacy.
With an “outstanding team of doctors” supporting him and a history of perseverance behind him, Mara faces this battle with the same grit that has defined his leadership in football.

Can Commanders QB Jayden Daniels ‘Find That Balance’ to Limit Risk, Reap Reward?
<!--> [--> Ralph Vacchiano NFL Reporter <!--> --> ASHBURN, Va. — The hit that took out Jayden Daniels three weeks ago didn’t look all that dangerous. He dropped back to pass, got flushed from the pocket, ran to his left, and got clipped on his left knee as he tried to pick up a few extra yards.When he got up with a slight limp, there was no indication that he’d miss the next two weeks due to a knee sprain. In fact, he never even left the game against the Green Bay Packers. But the play turned out to be a reminder for everyone of the two sides of the Commanders’ impressive franchise quarterback.He has a huge potential for greatness, a dynamic ability to create plays seemingly out of nothing. But that potential comes with a huge potential risk: The […]

Top-12 NFL running games: Which teams are helping our RBs score fantasy football points this season?
Below, we will look at the NFL offenses with a 40% or better (the top 12 teams) in rushing success rate on their running back runs to determine the best rushing ecosystems through the first month of the fantasy football season. Success rate in this context is a down-and-distance-based efficiency metric.Buffalo Bills - 48.9%James Cook is the No. 1 running back in fantasy football right now. He’s touched the ball 87 times and amassed 401 yards from scrimmage. There’s no question that Cook looks incredible in isolation this year and, in my view, has taken his game to another level. Pretty cool for a player who just signed a mega extension in the offseason.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat being said, this Bills rushing ecosystem overall is a complete machine.
