Jones, 25, will get $82 million over the first two years of his contract and can earn $35 million in incentives. The negotiations between Jones and the Giants went down to the wire, with The Post’s Ryan Dunleavy reporting seven minutes before the 4 p.m. deadline that the two parties reached an agreement.
Had they not struck a deal, the Giants would have had to place the $32.4 million franchise tag on Jones, which would have left Barkley’s status up in the air. Under first-year head coach Brian Daboll, Jones helped lead the Giants to their first playoff berth in six years last season.Jones threw for 3,205 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions while rushing for 708 yards and seven scores.Share this article:
