History

Historical Context

In 1994 the NFL set its first salary cap at $33.8 million, reshaping contract tactics. The New York Giants, led by GM Joe Schoen, followed that model, extending Eli Manning in 2015 and, in 2024, signing left guard Jon Runyan Jr. for $22 million and backup QB Jameis Winston for $13 million. These long-term deals aim to stabilize the roster and boost playoff chances.
