The New York Giants extended backup quarterback Jameis Winston through the 2028 season on a two-year deal worth $13 million, sources told ESPN. The Giants also agreed to a two-year extension with guard Jon Runyan, worth $22 million and including $21.5 million guaranteed. Winston gets two years added to his current contract, which has him signed for just over $4 million this season.

He is set to serve as the backup to Jaxson Dart. Winston, 32, serves as a contingency for the second-year quarterback, who plays a physical brand of football and has been prone to trips to the medical tent. Dart missed a pair of games during his rookie season with a concussion.

Runyan, 29, was entering the final season of a three-year, $30 million deal and is entrenched as the team's starting left guard. His extension further accentuates the stability of the Giants' offensive line. New York returns four starters and only center John Michael Schmitz remains unsigned for multiple years.

The Giants signed Winston as the backup to Russell Wilson last offseason for two years and $8 million. They then picked Dart in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. When Dart took over as a starter early last season, Winston slotted in as the backup.

Winston started two games last season. He completed 56.1% of his passes for 567 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in three appearances. He also caught a touchdown pass in one of the more memorable plays of the season.

Winston is looked at as a solid veteran presence and calming influence in the locker room. He's one of the oldest and most experienced players on the roster.
