The New York Giants might’ve signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million contract extension, but they are still scouting passers in the 2023 NFL draft. The Giants gave Jones $81 million guaranteed at signing and $92 million guaranteed over the contract, averaging $40 million per year in salary.
The team managed to keep his cap hit down to $21 million for the 2023 season, opening up a bit of salary space to utilize elsewhere. Nonetheless, the Giants have completely shifted their draft strategy compared to recent years, when they avoided specific positions and didn’t even do their due diligence.
