The New York Giants and No. 6 overall pick Daniel Jones "have an agreement in principle" on a rookie-scale contract, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Given his position in the first round of the draft, Jones is projected to earn a little over $25.5 million and count for $4.6 million against the salary cap in 2019, per Spotrac.
Jones was perhaps the most controversial pick of the opening night, with many criticizing the selection as a value proposition. The Duke product was considered one of the four best quarterbacks in the 2019 class by most observers but to many was a clear step down from Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins (and to some Drew Lock).
