Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report): Breaking: The #Giants and QB Jameis Winston have agreed to a 2-year, $13M extension, per sources. Winston has become invaluable to the Giants' QB room as a leader, a key part of Jaxson Dart's development, and someone the organization views as the best backup QB in football. The deal was done by @WinSportsGroup.
Winston was entering the final year of his contract, and the new deal now runs through 2028, with the money on his 2026 season left untouched. The extension keeps the 2015 No. 1 overall pick in New York as the team's QB2 and a central figure in the quarterback room, where he has been integral to the development of starter Jaxson Dart.
The organization views Winston as the best backup quarterback in football, per the initial report, and his value goes well beyond the depth chart.
Dart is entering his second season as the starter. Winston has been a major part of that transition, a role the team is paying to keep through 2028.
