Arrr, mateys! The scurvy-ridden New York Giants be keepin' their crew together, sign'n Andrew Thomas, a fearsome offensive lineman, to a record-breakin' loot worth a grand total o' $117.5 million! That be enough doubloons to sink a thousand enemy ships!
The New York Giants have secured another key player for their team, this time locking up Andrew Thomas, the fourth overall selection from the 2020 NFL Draft, to a record-breaking five-year deal. The former Georgia standout signed a $117.5 million contract just before the start of training camp, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. Thomas expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity, stating that it was a blessing and something he had worked hard for. The contract will begin in 2025, ensuring that Thomas will be with the Giants as their left tackle until 2029.General manager Joe Schoen expressed his confidence in Thomas, stating that the extension gives him the chance to be a Giant for the rest of his career. Thomas was initially seen as the fourth-best lineman in the 2020 Draft, but he has since proven himself, earning a Second-team All-Pro selection and impressive stats in his rookie season.
Along with Thomas, the Giants have also extended contracts for quarterback Daniel Jones and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence this offseason. However, star running back Saquon Barkley was unable to reach a long-term deal and has signed his franchise tag. Thomas joins Justin Herbert, Trevon Diggs, and Jalen Hurts as members of the 2020 class to receive contract extensions this offseason. Overall, the Giants have managed to secure their core players and set a strong foundation for the future of the team.
