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 raises Newsome's average annual value to $15.3 million, a significant increase from the one-year, $8 million contract he signed in March. The extension places him just below the NFL's top-20 highest-paid cornerbacks in average annual value.
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.
Newsome, 26, 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 being traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars in October 2024, where he struggled, allowing five passing touchdowns in 12 games. His performance with the Giants has marked a sharp turnaround, prompting the team to secure his services beyond the 2026 season.
