Danny ($160 million) Dollars.
Daniel Jones just got paid big time: $40 million a year, $160 million over four years.
The Giants franchise QB is here to stay.
Giants fans were left on the edge of their seat into the final minutes of the deadline to get it done Tuesday.
Jones went out and had a career year and helped lead Big Blue to the playoffs.
The Giants also put the non-exclusive franchise tag on running back Saquon Barkley for just over $10 million.
So Saquon is sticking around for now, but can still get a deal elsewhere that the Giants can match.
If he signs elsewhere, the Giants would receive two first-round picks.
There’s lots to react to on an emergency episode of the “Blue Rush” podcast with Brandon London and Paul Schwartz.
Blue Rush Podcast with Paul Schwartz & Brandon London:
- DANNY DOLLARS: Good that they got their quarterback. Paul a bit surprised the Giants went to $40 million a year. This went right down to the deadline to get it done.
- SAQUON TAG: Barkley is here for now. He can still negotiate with other teams and the Giants can match. If he plays on the tag, it’s just over $10 million for the 2023 season. Will the Giants get a deal done?
- FREE AGENCY: They have around $20 million left in cap space for 2023. Who will they look to sign next week when free agency begins?
