EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Despite the apparent stalemate that came after seemingly endless daily meetings and dinners at the NFL scouting combine last week, Daniel Jones and the Giants reached an agreement on a megadeal that now keeps the quarterback in New York through 2027.
Sources told ESPN that Jones agreed to a four-year deal worth $160 million with $82 million guaranteed — and another $35 million available in incentives — minutes before Tuesday's 4 p.m.
ET deadline to franchise-tag players. The Giants immediately placed the nonexclusive franchise tag on running back Saquon Barkley.
General manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll saw enough during their first season in New York — where Jones played the best football of his career and the team reached the playoffs for the first time since 2016 — that they made the decision to re-sign him.
