Jaxson Dart draws line at buying No. 2 jersey from Giants teammate Deonte Banks: ‘Too much’

Jaxson Dart isn’t about to supplement teammate Deonte Banks’ income as quickly as fellow quarterback Russell Wilson did.

Dart, who is wearing No. 6 in Giants practices, wore No. 2 at Ole Miss. That number currently belongs to Banks, who acquired it in March when he cut an undisclosed deal with Wilson to surrender No. 3 to the new starting quarterback.

One month later, the Giants drafted Dart, who talked with Banks about the cost of asking him to make another switch.

“Yeah, it’s too much,” Dart told Cllct Media with a laugh. “Too much.”

Dart hasn’t yet inked his contract, but, based on the NFL rookie wage scale, he is expected to receive a four-year, $16.9 million deal that includes nearly a $9 million signing bonus.

Asked during rookie minicamp earlier this month if No. 6 was a permanent choice, Dart said that was still under consideration.
