The Giants and quarterback Daniel Jones have agreed to a contract extension ahead of free agency, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports. The deal is a four-year contract worth $160 million with a potential additional $35 million in incentives, per SI’s Albert Breer.
Jones will be making $40 million per year, which will tie him in as the seventh highest paid quarterback in the NFL, along with Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford.
New York drafted Jones with the sixth pick in the 2019 draft, and the quarterback has started 53 games over the last four seasons. The team chose not to pick up his fifth-year option following the ’21 season, allowing his rookie contract to expire this offseason.
