New York Giants first-round draft pick Jaxson Dart signed his four-year, $17 million rookie contract on Friday.

Multiple media outlets reported that Dart’s signing bonus was just shy of $9 million.

The Giants selected the Ole Miss quarterback with the 25th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft after swinging a trade with the Houston Texans. The Texans received the No. 34 overall pick in the second round and No. 99 overall in the third, plus a third-round selection in 2026.

The Giants also selected Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter with the third overall pick in last month’s draft.

Dart, 22, finds himself in a crowded quarterback room. In March, New York signed 36-year-old veteran Russell Wilson to a one-year, $10.5 million deal and gave 31-year-old Jameis Winston a two-year, $8 million contract.

Dart started his college career at Southern California in 2021 but transferred to Ole Miss when Caleb Williams was set to take over as the Trojans’ QB. Williams was chosen No. 1 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears.

As a three-year starter for the Rebels, Dart completed 65.7 percent of his passes for 10,617 yards and 72 touchdowns with 22 interceptions. Last season, he guided Ole Miss to a 10-3 record, including a win over Duke in the Gator Bowl, while connecting on 69.3 percent of his throws for 4,279 yards. He threw for 29 TDs and was picked off six times.
