The New York Giants have agreed to a three-year, $46 million extension with cornerback Greg Newsome II, his agent Erik Burkhardt of Roc Nation Sports confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal includes $32 million in guaranteed money and comes midway through Newsome's first season in New York. A former first-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2021, Newsome was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars last October before signing a one-year contract with the Giants this past offseason.
At 26 years old, he has recorded 17 tackles, six passes defended, and one interception this season. The Giants, currently sitting at 4-2-1, are atop the NFC East standings. Newsome's performance has solidified his role as a key piece of the team's secondary.
