Jameis Winston Stays With Giants | NFL News

About this episode

Jameis Winston is staying with the New York Giants on a two-year, $13 million deal — a significant bump from his 2025 contract. Though initially penciled in as starter, he fell to third behind Russell Wilson and rookie Jaxson Dart. After interim coach Mike Kafka shuffled things, Jameis got two starts, throwing for 567 yards, two TDs, two picks — and that jaw-dropping catch against Detroit. Beyond stats, he’s become a locker room leader, mentoring Dart and bringing energy to Big Blue. The Giants clearly value him — and while a media gig might beckon, Jameis is focused on building something special in New York.

It's September 6th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Corey with the story. James Winston is sticking with the New York Giants. Word on the street is he inked a two-year deal worth $13 million. This comes after his initial two-year $8 million contract he signed back in 2025. Initially, Winston was slated to be the starter, with things shifted. After the Giants brought in Russell Wilson and drafted Jackson Dart, James found himself third on the depth chart. He did get a chance to swap spots with Wilson later in the season when Mike Kafka took the helm as interim coach. He saw action in three gangs, starting two of them. James put up 567 passing yards, tossing two touchdowns and throwing two interceptions against the Packers and Lions. And let's not forget that while touchdown catch, he snanked against Detroit that was pure entertainment. On the stats, Winston has emerged as a real presence in that locker room.

He's become a go-to guy for rookie Jackson Dart and just brings a certain energy to the team. It's clear that Giants see him as a valuable asset moving forward. While a media career might be in his future, James is focused on staying with Big Blue for the foreseeable future.
