The New York Giants have agreed to a three-year, $46 million contract extension with cornerback Greg Newsome II, according to ESPN. The deal includes $32 million guaranteed and carries an average annual value of $15.3 million, a significant increase from the one-year, $8 million deal Newsome signed in March.
At 26, Newsome has been a key contributor in the Giants' secondary this season. Through six games, he has allowed a 53.6% completion rate on targets and a 57.7 passer rating when targeted, both on pace for career bests. He has not surrendered a touchdown and has given up only two completions of 20-plus yards while recording one interception.
Newsome entered the NFL as a first-round pick (No. 26 overall) by the Cleveland Browns in 2021. He spent four and a half seasons with Cleveland before a trade to the Jacksonville Jaguars in October 2024, where he struggled, allowing five passing touchdowns in 12 games. His resurgence with the Giants prompted the team to secure his services beyond the 2026 season.
