Giants, Jameis Winston agree to 2-year extension: Source

The New York Giants and veteran quarterback Jameis Winston agreed to a two-year, $13 million extension, a league source confirmed to The Athletic.

The move solidifies the Giants quarterback room with backup Winston and starter Jaxson Dart paired for the next few seasons. Winston has been a vocal leader for the Giants in his one year in New York, and he was one of the eight voted by players onto a team leadership group under new coach John Harbaugh.

Winston arrived in New York in 2025, signing a two-year, $8 million contract with the Giants worth up to $16 million with incentives. Winston’s signing last year added some much needed stability to the quarterback room after pursuits of Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers left only Tommy DeVito on the roster. The Giants added Russell Wilson and later drafted Dart as a late first-round pick.

Last season, Winston played three games, going 37-for-66 for 567 yards along with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

The No. 1 pick in 2015 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Winston spent the 2024 season with the Cleveland Browns after a stint with the New Orleans Saints from 2020-2023.
