In 2014, he signed a two year contract with the New York Giants for $4 million. He did not finish the season due to a torn pectoral muscle. Even with a shortened season, he had a remarkable first year with the Giants and was tied for fifth among all defense ends who played in a 4-3 defense. He was even ranked higher than superstar teammate Jason Pierre-Paul.
With summer camps starting up, Ayers was back on the field this summer. The Giants have great expectations for him during the 2015 season. He did not make it out of the first practice without having to be carted off the field, however, having gone down during a play with a potentially injured ankle or

After his injury, he was fully healed and ready to play when the coach realized they’re backup quarterback was younger and had a really good game. The coach decided to take a chance with the backup and benched Alex smith. He had to sit out knowing the team that used to be his didn’t want him anymore. Alex Smith’s whole career he threw 128 touchdown passes. He has over 10,000 yards passing in his whole career. I respect alex smith because when his career as a 49er ended he didn’t
Peyton manning was a heisman winning Quarterback coming out of the University of Tennessee who was projected as a top 2 pick in the 1998 Draft but it was debated on Who was going to go first overall to the colts Manning or Ryan Leaf, in the end Manning went First to the Colts and Leaf went second to the Chargers. That started a run in Indianapolis that lasted over a decade with Manning at the helm of two super bowl appearances and one win before in 2010 when manning learned that he needed neck fusion surgery which cut his 2011 campaign with the colts short. Without manning at the helm the colts tanked to the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft to which they drafted his successor, Andrew Luck.Now in the Colts Owner John Dorsey,s eyes Manning had become expendable and decided to release manning that same off season. Manning then signeda four-year deal with the Denver Broncos, While with the broncos in 2013,Manning lead the highest scoring offense in NFL history, a record previously help by Tom Brady’s Patriots in 2007.

He started his first game and started for the rest of that season. He was one of the best rookies that year and became the first rookie in the cowboys franchise to start all the games at the center position. He sure did change everybody's mind as he continued this performance next season. He improved next season and was also named to his first pro bowl in his career. Even though the Cowboys did not do so good in the 2015 season he still did impress as he had to work with 4 different starting quarterback all with there different and personal offensive strategies which required him to make more protection calls and be on his game. Even after he did this he still performed at a pro bowl level among his fellow
This brings us to his future. For now he is going to stick with the falcons and continue as the star running back. He is not just doing this for himself, but he is doing it for his family. He is going to stay with them and pay for his sisters college. He does not want to get caught up in a contract dispute, because the only thing that matters to him is football and taking care of his family. Devonta Freeman only has one more year on his contract though, and we will see if he takes any offers. As far as his stats look, they look like they will keep improving, and be even more impressive than they already
