The New York Giants have signed backup quarterback Jameis Winston to a two-year, $13 million contract extension, according to an AP source. The deal, not yet announced, will save salary cap space this season and secure Winston's contract through 2028. Currently on his 12th NFL season, Winston is entering his 32nd year, having previously played for the Buccaneers, Saints, and Browns.
The extension comes after Winston appeared in two games last season, following his trade-up to draft Jaxson Dart in 2025. Now firmly the team's second-string quarterback and a mentor to Dart, Winston provides the Giants with a veteran option under coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.
