After bouncing around the NFL in recent years, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston is set to remain with the New York Giants for at least a few years. The Giants signed him to a two-year contract extension worth $13 million on Sunday.
Winston joined the Giants prior to the 2025 season as part of a quarterback room overhaul. He previously spent the first five years of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, and later played for the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns.
Winston's role with the Giants will be as the backup for 2025 first-round pick Jaxson Dart. Given Dart's fearless and potentially risky style of play, Winston is viewed as a capable backup who can step in, put up big numbers, and win games.
