Giants Reportedly Extend Jameis Winston Two Years

The New York Giants have agreed to a two-year contract extension with veteran quarterback Jameis Winston, keeping him with the team through the 2028 season. The deal, reported Sunday, September 6, 2026, is worth $13 million. Winston, 32, has become an integral part of the Giants' quarterback room since joining the team in 2025. He is expected to continue serving as the primary backup to second-year starter Jaxson Dart and as a mentor. The organization views Winston as a valuable leader and a high-end insurance policy, particularly given Dart's development and the physical nature of the quarterback position. Last season, Winston made two starts for the Giants when Dart was sidelined due to injury. In those appearances, he completed 37 of 65 passes for 567 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also added seven rushing attempts for 23 yards and one touchdown. While the Giants lost both games Winston started, his presence provided stability. The new extension underscores the team's commitment to Winston's role behind Dart.
