The New York Giants have officially found their replacement at quarterback, signing Jameis Winston to a two-year, $8 million deal after moving on from their pursuit of Russell Wilson. Following a disappointing 2024 season and the midseason release of Daniel Jones, the Giants were in search of a new leader under center. With Wilson exploring other opportunities and Aaron Rodgers’ future uncertain, New York has decided to move forward with Winston as their starter.
Winston, the former No. 1 overall pick, joins the Giants after a season with the Cleveland Browns, where he appeared in 12 games, throwing for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. His signing provides New York with an experienced signal-caller who can bring stability to the position after a year of uncertainty.
Additionally, the Giants re-signed Tommy DeVito on a one-year deal, securing depth behind Winston. With Wilson and Rodgers no longer in the picture, the team has shifted its focus toward building around their new quarterback through free agency and the upcoming NFL Draft.
By finalizing this move, the Giants end their quarterback search and set their sights on improving the roster for a stronger 2025 campaign.
