New York Giants Lock Up Their Star Left Tackle
With the Thomas extension, the Giants lock up their star left tackle through the 2029 season.
Thomas’s $67 million guaranteed exceeds the previous record held by Baltimore’s Ronnie Stanley ($64.1 million). The only other offensive linemen with $60 million or more in guaranteed money are New Orleans’ Ryan Ramczyk ($60.2 million), Houston’s Laremy Tunsil ($60 million), and Kansas City’s Jawaan Taylor ($60 million).
Drafted fourth overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, Thomas has emerged as one of the top left tackles in 2022 after struggling in his first season. PFF ranked Thomas third in 2022 for offensive lineman behind San Francisco’s Trent Williams and Minnesota’s Christian Darrisaw.
Thomas Becomes Third Giant To Receive Long-Term Contract Extension
Surprise! 🚨 🚨 🚨
The #Giants and star RB Saquon Barkley agreed to terms on a new 1-year deal worth up to $11M, sources say, as Barkley gives himself a chance to beat the franchise tag. He gets a $2M signing bonus.
Bottom line: Barkley is coming in & will be at training camp. pic.twitter.com/A5PR7RWLfQ

Thomas becomes the third Giant to receive a long-term contract extension this offseason.
Quarterback Daniel Jones received a four-year, $160 million extension, and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence signed a four-year, $90 million contract.
Saquon Barkley failed to receive a long-term extension after the Giants placed the franchise tag on their star running back to start the offseason.
However, Barkley agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million on July 25.
