The New York Giants agree to a two-year contract extension with quarterback Jameis Winston, multiple outlets report. The deal keeps Winston with the team as a backup option after he played the role of quarterback on the depth chart behind Jaxson Dart.
Reports describe the extension as worth $13 million total and set to run through the 2028 season. One outlet says the agreement keeps Winston in place as Dart’s backup for a second straight season in New York.
While the reporting largely aligns on the length of the extension, its reported value, and Winston’s position as QB2, sources differ slightly in how they frame his role—some emphasize his continued status as the primary backup, while others highlight his acceptance of being the No. 2 quarterback behind Dart.
