NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Giants took care of some contract business on Labor Day weekend ahead of the start of the season, signing backup quarterback James Winston and starting left guard Jon Runyan to two-year extensions.
Winston is receiving $13 million and Runyan $22 million as part of the moves, according to a person with knowledge of the move. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because the deals had not been announced.
The extensions provide salary cap flexibility and save space this season while keeping a pair of respected veterans under contract through 2028.
Winston, 32, was going into the second of a two-year, $8 million deal, initially signed before the Giants traded up to select Jaxson Dart in the first round of the 2025 draft. He appeared in two games last season after starting third on the depth chart behind Russell Wilson and Dart.
Now firmly No. 2 and serving in a mentor role, Winston gives new coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy an experienced QB to step in when Dart is unavailable. He is also on Harbaugh's leadership council, a group of players counted on to serve as a liaison between the staff and the rest of the team.
Winston is heading into his 12th NFL season since being the No. 1 overall pick by Tampa Bay in 2015 after winning the Heisman Trophy in 2013. The Giants are his fourth organization after stints with the Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns.
Runyan, 29, has spent the past two seasons starting for New York after playing his first four as a pro with Green Bay. He is back along with left tackle Andrew Thomas, center John Michael Schmitz and right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor on an offensive line that has just one newcomer: rookie right guard Francis “Sisi” Mauigoa, the 10th pick in the draft.
The deal includes $21.5 million of guaranteed money for Runyan, a second person familiar with the extension told the AP on condition of anonymity because terms were not disclosed.

MIAMI (AP) — An Amazon cargo plane barreled off a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing at least five people as it struck vehicles and burst into flames, authorities said.
The aircraft overran the runway around 2 p.m. after arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Five people were killed, three critically injured and two others hospitalized with less severe injuries, Miami-Dade County officials told a news conference. Miami officials said Sunday afternoon that it was too soon to determine whether the people who died were on board the plane or in the vehicles the plane hit.
The crash, which sent thick black smoke billowing into the sky, trapped the pilot and copilot in the cockpit and some occupants in cars, said Miami-Dade Rescue Fire Chief Ray Jadallah. The agency said another person was trapped under a vehicle.
It also halted flights at the busy travel hub for much of the afternoon. Fire crews were still dealing with a fuel leak on the plane several hours after the crash, Jadallah said.
The Prime Air plane came to rest beside a roadway near two semi-trucks, images from the scene showed. The aircraft appeared to be resting on its belly and was largely intact despite the fire. More than
The flight had been operated by 21 Air, a cargo carrier based in North Carolina. The 32-year-old Boeing 767 was originally built to carry passengers and flew for several airlines for more than two decades before being converted to a cargo plane in 2015, according to flight-tracking site Flightradar24.
About 250 flights were delayed at the airport late afternoon Sunday, according to FlightAware, a website that tracks flight disruptions.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it is sending a team to Miami led by Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy to investigate.
Amazon said in a statement that it would cooperate with any investigation.
“We’re heartbroken to learn that five people lost their lives in today’s incident at Miami International Airport," the company said. “Our deepest sympathies go out to the families, loved ones, and all those affected by this devastating loss.”
Jackson Lee, who runs an electronics shop near the crash site, went outside with four colleagues after the crash and saw smoke rising near the airport’s fences, Lee said.
“We hear planes taking off and landing every five minutes. I thought I’d got used to it,” Lee said. “I never thought it could come this close to us.”
