Giants Sign No. 1 Pick Shedeur Sanders to Four-Year, $71 Million Deal
The New York Giants have officially agreed to terms with their No. 1 overall draft pick, Shedeur Sanders, on a four-year, $71 million contract. The deal, which includes a significant signing bonus and a range of performance-based incentives, secures the 21-year-old quarterback as the centerpiece of the Giants’ future.
Shedeur, son of Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, emerged as one of the most promising young quarterbacks in college football last season, leading Colorado to a strong campaign and earning widespread acclaim for his poise, decision-making, and arm strength. His play at the collegiate level made him a top prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft, and the Giants wasted no time in selecting him first overall.
The contract marks a major investment in the team’s future, as the Giants look to build around Sanders, who will be expected to take over the starting quarterback role immediately. Sanders is seen as a transformational talent who can elevate the franchise after years of struggles at the position.
“We believe Shedeur has the talent, leadership, and work ethic to be the face of this franchise for years to come,” said Giants General Manager Joe Schoen.
With the deal in place, the Giants are set to move forward with their rebuild, putting their trust in the young star to lead the team back to contention in the highly competitive NFC East.
