The New York Giants were able to pick up a pair of offseason wins on Tuesday.
They worked to the deadline before signing Daniel Jones to a long-term contract, which allows Big Blue to place the franchise tag on running back Saquon Barkley.
The extension is for $160 million. The deal includes 2023, which would have been the final year of the quarterback’s contract.
