The New York Giants have agreed to a three-year, $46 million contract extension with cornerback Greg Newsome II, including $32 million guaranteed, according to reports. The deal carries an average annual value of $15.3 million, a significant increase from the one-year, $8 million contract Newsome signed in March.
Through six games this season, Newsome has allowed a 53.6% completion rate on targets against him and a 57.7 passer rating when targeted, which would be a career best. He has not surrendered a touchdown and has allowed only two completions of 20-plus yards while recording one interception.
The 26-year-old Northwestern product was a first-round pick (26th overall) by the Cleveland Browns in 2021. After four and a half seasons in Cleveland, he was traded 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 him beyond the 2026 season.
