Giants Sign First-Round QB Jaxson Dart to Four-Year Rookie Deal

News summary

The New York Giants have signed their 2025 first-round draft pick, quarterback Jaxson Dart, to a four-year rookie contract that includes a fifth-year team option and an $8.97 million signing bonus. Dart, selected 25th overall after the Giants traded up, is viewed as their franchise quarterback of the future, following in the footsteps of Eli Manning, another former Ole Miss quarterback. Although the Giants plan for Dart to redshirt behind veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston initially, there is an expectation he may see playing time if the team struggles. Coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen are employing a developmental approach similar to how the Bills handled Josh Allen, with Daboll expressing strong excitement about Dart's potential after rookie minicamp. Dart’s collegiate career included strong passing statistics and rushing ability, making him a versatile prospect. The signing marks the fifth of seven rookies under contract for the Giants, with only two draft picks remaining unsigned.
