Giants Secure Their QB with a New Contract
The New York Giants and quarterback Daniel Jones have agreed on a long-term contract just in time. The four-year deal is worth $160 million, as reported by NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo on Tuesday. The contract also includes $35 million in additional incentives and guarantees Jones $82 million over the first two years.
The Giants finalized the deal just minutes before the NFL’s franchise tag deadline. By securing Jones, the team was able to use the franchise tag on star running back Saquon Barkley, ensuring he stays off the free-agent market.
Jones’ contract makes him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league, joining the ranks of those making over $40 million per year. His first-year cap hit is a manageable $19 million, giving the Giants some flexibility as they look to build a stronger team around him.
This agreement solidifies Jones’ role as the Giants’ starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. After a season of progress under head coach Brian Daboll, the Giants are clearly betting on Jones to lead them to greater success. With this contract in place, the focus now shifts to improving the roster and making a deeper playoff run in the upcoming season.
In the end, the Giants have committed to their quarterback, and Daniel Jones has a clear path to proving he’s worth every penny. The future looks bright for Big Blue.
