Just before the start of the 2026 season, the New York Giants reportedly signed quarterback Jameis Winston to a two-year contract extension.
According to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Giants are keeping Winston on a two-year deal worth up to $13 million.
Though Jaxson Dart is entering his second season as the unquestioned starting quarterback following a promising rookie campaign, having Winston backing him up on the depth chart is a strong value to have in the room.
Winston was entering the final year of his previous two-year deal with the Giants. The details of the contract have yet to be released as of this writing, but this should alleviate some salary-cap concerns to begin the campaign.
It's been years since Winston has operated as a full-time starter, but he's wound up seeing spot-start action over the last few seasons. In 2025 with the Giants, Winston appeared in three games (two starts) while completing 37 of 66 pass attempts (56.1%) for 567 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
