Jaxson Dart inks $17 million rookie deal as QB’s Giants odyssey begins
NY Post
There was a time not too long ago when NFL first-round picks regularly engaged in holdouts, attempting to squeeze more money out of their new employers.
Often, the rookies who held out the longest were quarterbacks.
Times have changed since 2011, when the league instituted a rookie wage scale.
Nowadays, the signings are pretty much formulaic, which is why Jaxson Dart putting pen to paper Friday was more about bookkeeping and timing for the Giants.
Dart signed a four-year deal for $17 million, all fully guaranteed, with $9 million included as a signing bonus.
The Giants traded up into the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, making a deal with the Texans, to select Dart at No. 25.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
