The Big Apple just got a new star.
The New York Giants have officially signed their first-round pick, quarterback Jaxson Dart, to a four-year, $17 million, fully guaranteed rookie deal, according to league sources. The former USC and Ole Miss standout is now locked in as the face of the franchise for the foreseeable future — and Giants Nation is buzzing.
The Deal is Done
Dart’s rookie contract includes all $17 million fully guaranteed — a massive vote of confidence from the Giants’ front office. With the ink barely dry, fans and analysts alike are asking the same question: Is Dart the guy who will lead the Giants back to postseason glory?
Who Is Jaxson Dart?
If you haven’t been paying attention, you’re about to hear this name a lot. Jaxson Dart is a dual-threat quarterback with a cannon for an arm, ice in his veins, and a chip on his shoulder. After a standout 2024 season where he threw for 3,800+ yards and 34 touchdowns, Dart shot up draft boards and landed in New York as the No. 12 overall pick.
“He brings swagger, leadership, and a playmaking ability we’ve been missing,” said head coach Brian Daboll. “This kid wants the spotlight — and we’re ready to give it to him.”
Social Media Erupts
Within minutes of the signing, #DartSeason was trending on X (formerly Twitter), with Giants fans flooding the timeline with excitement:
> “Let’s goooooo! Jaxson Dart is our savior. Eli 2.0!”

“Dart in Gotham? It’s about to get scary for the NFC East.”

“17 million well spent. Kid’s got that it factor.”

QB Battle Incoming?
While veteran Daniel Jones remains under contract, insiders say the Giants are preparing for a heated QB battle at training camp. Don’t be surprised if Dart pushes for the starting role immediately — especially if he flashes in preseason.
“Jaxson is coming in to compete,” said GM Joe Schoen. “No handouts, no gimmicks — just football.”
What’s Next?
The Giants’ OTAs are already underway, and all eyes are on Dart as he suits up in Giants blue for the first time. The hype is real, the expectations are sky-high, and the future? It might just have arrived in New York.
So buckle up, Giants fans.
Jaxson Dart is here — and the Dart Era has officially begun.
