The New York Giants have extended quarterback Jameis Winston, per a report from Ari Meirov. The extension is reputedly for an additional two years and $13 million. Winston, 32, signed a two-year, $8 million contract in 2025. At the time, he was in line to be the Giants' starting quarterback, but fell to third on the depth chart after the Giants signed Russell Wilson and drafted Jaxson Dart. Winston and Russell ultimately swapped positions on the depth chart when Mike Kafka took over as interim head coach in the second half of the 2025 season.

Winston's $13M extension signals Giants' long-term commitment despite depth chart volatility.

Winston signed a two-year, $13 million contract extension with the Giants through 2028, signaling the team's commitment to him as a long-term piece despite his third-string depth chart status. Originally signed as the starter on a two-year, $8 million deal in 2025, he fell to third after the Giants signed Russell Wilson and drafted Jaxson Dart, but swapped positions with Wilson when Mike Kafka took over as interim head coach mid-season. Winston appeared in three games, starting two, and has become an important leader and resource for rookie Jaxson Dart in the locker room.
