  "account": "The New York Giants and quarterback Jameis Winston have reached a multi-year contract extension, securing the team's key backup for the next few seasons. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the agreement is for two years and $13 million. Winston is currently in the final year of his contract, and this new deal will keep him with the Giants through the 2028 season. This extension is crucial for the Giants, as Winston is considered one of the top backup quarterbacks in the NFL. His presence will provide stability to the team, particularly given the concussion struggles starter Jaxson Dart has faced early in his career. Furthermore, Winston has played a significant mentoring role in Dart's development, and his continued presence will be invaluable to the young signal-caller.",
