The New York Giants did what was widely considered a surprising decision when the team selected Jaxson Dart in the first round of the NFL draft.
While the name of Dart had been linked to the giants preceding the project, New York put its belief in the young quarterrier in the middle of the display by exchanging to choose the former appellant Ole Miss Signal.

The latest NFL collective agreement introduced fixed recruit remuneration scales, which effectively eliminates negotiations.
Since Dart was the 25th choice in total, it was split to win a total of $ 16.9 million during the lifespan of its first contract. The four -year planned agreement should also include an estimated signing bonus at $ 9 million.
Dart wore jersey n ° 6 once he arrived at the Minicamp Rookie in the Giants earlier this month. At that time, Dart suggested that he was still considering concluding an agreement for jersey 2.

“I think we will soon make a final decision,” said Dart. “Quite honestly, I just have to look at the photos to see if I love myself in No. 6.”
Last year, Drew Lock worn n ° 2 in his only season with the Giants. Lock agreed with a two -year contract with the Seattle Seahawks last month.
