Giants lock up LT Andrew Thomas with five-year, $117.5 million contract extension

Daniel Jones' blind side will be protected for a few more years.

The New York Giants and left tackle Andrew Thomas agreed to terms on a five-year, $117.5 million extension, the team announced on Wednesday. The contract includes $67 million in guarantees, which is a record for an offensive lineman.

The deal comes one day after the team signed leading rusher Saquon Barkley to a one-year, incentive-laden deal that could be worth up to $11 million.

Jones is also in the fold for years to come after he signed a four-year, $160 million contract in March, with $81 million fully guaranteed.

The 24-year-old Thomas was selected as the fourth overall pick by the Giants in the 2020 NFL Draft and has started 44 of the 45 games in which he has appeared.

Last season, Thomas played in 16 games and earned second-team All-Pro honors from the Associated Press.
