The New York Giants tied up quarterback Daniel Jones to a new long-term contract of $160 million over four years on Tuesday. The deal included $35 million in additional incentives, $82 million over the first two years and a first-year cap number of $19 million, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport.Many fans and analysts alike were surprised that New York offered Jones such a large contract, as he became just the ninth quarterback in NFL history to surpass $40 million per season."I said after the season I love this place," Jones said in a statement issued through the team. "I've really enjoyed my time here, and I want to be here. I have great respect for this organization, the Maras, the Tisches, my coaches and teammates. I am happy we were able to come to an agreement."In his four NFL seasons, he’s passed for 60 touchdowns and rushed for 12 more, against 34 interceptions. He won his first playoff game in 2022, but most fans are in agreement that the Giants have overpaid for the signal-caller.Herd w/Colin Cowherd@TheHerd"Here's the problem.

However, in his first game with the team, he suffered a shoulder injury and lost all four games he started for Jacksonville in 2019. He was traded after a year in what was a disaster for all parties.#4, Carson WentzCarson WentzWentz also was handed a terrible contract in 2019. The Eagles decided to roll with Wentz instead of Foles, handing him a four-year, $128 million contract extension with $107 million guaranteed.However, despite having a solid season in 2019(27 TDs and seven interceptions), his play fell off a cliff in 2020. Wentz only passed for 16 touchdowns versus 15 interceptions as Philadelphia won just three games with him under center.He was traded after the season to the Indianapolis Colts and has continued to struggle in the NFL with both Indianapolis and with the Washington Commanders.
