Daniel Jones, the quarterback for the New York Giants, has agreed to a four-year deal worth $160 million, according to reports from several sources including CBS Sports, ESPN, NFL.com, Yahoo Sports, and the New York Post. The deal comes just before the deadline for the team to use their franchise tag, which they reportedly used on star running back Saquon Barkley.

Jones, who was drafted sixth overall by the Giants in 2019, has shown promise in his first two seasons with the team. He threw for over 2,900 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2020 despite missing two games due to injury. The Giants finished with a 6-10 record, but many fans and analysts believe the team is on the rise with Jones at quarterback.

The deal is a major commitment from the Giants to Jones and shows their faith in his ability to lead the team. It also makes him one of the highest-paid players in the league, joining the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott.

Barkley, meanwhile, will reportedly play under the franchise tag for the 2021 season. The star running back missed most of the 2020 season due to a torn ACL but is expected to make a full recovery and be a key part of the Giants’ offense in the coming year.

Overall, the news of Jones’ new deal is sure to excite Giants fans and give the team a boost as they prepare for the 2021 season. With a talented young quarterback and a dynamic running back, the Giants have the pieces in place to compete in a tough NFC East division.
