Jaxson Dart inks $17 million rookie deal as QB’s Giants odyssey begins

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.
