New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston’s two-year, $8 million contract deal makes him the lowest-paid starting quarterback in the NFL, outside of rookies under rookie contracts. The base salary suggests a “bridge” quarterback role. If the Giants decide to take a quarterback early, Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders could be their top pick, possibly at No. 3 overall. Given the value of Winston’s contract, he will likely be paired with a rookie quarterback in the draft. Alternatively, if they don’t make a move, the Giants would have scored a significant bargain with Winston, similar to his previous one-year deal last season worth $4 million with incentives up to $4.7 million.
