New York Giants Sign Jameis Winston to Two-Year Deal

New York City – The New York Giants have made a significant move in their offseason strategy by signing veteran quarterback Jameis Winston to a two-year contract worth $8 million. The announcement comes as the team searches for a new leader under center following their recent changes at the quarterback position.

Winston, who previously played for the Cleveland Browns, hinted at the deal with a post on X, quoting lyrics from Frank Sinatra’s famous song “New York, New York.” He shared the message “Start spreading the neWs” alongside an apple emoji, indicating his excitement about joining the Giants.

With this signing, Winston becomes the most experienced quarterback on the Giants’ roster, joining former undrafted free agent Tommy DeVito, who is currently the only other quarterback on the team. The Giants had a rough quarterback situation last season, moving on from Daniel Jones midway through the year while also letting go of backup Drew Lock and journeyman Tim Boyle this offseason.

Team owner John Mara emphasized in January that finding a franchise quarterback was the “No. 1 issue” heading into the offseason. As they hold the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, they are eyeing top quarterback prospects such as Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward.

The signing of Winston marks a new chapter for the Giants, who are committed to improving their quarterback play. As they head into the draft, the organization is focused on shaping a team that can compete effectively in the upcoming season.
