The pact includes $35 million in additional incentives, $82 million over the first two years and a first-year cap number of $19 million.

The deal came down minutes before the NFL’s franchise tag deadline.

Getting Jones’ contract done allowed the Giants to use the tag and keep star running back Saquon Barkley off the free-agent market.

Jones’ deal makes him the ninth quarterback to breach the $40 million-per-year mark in the NFL.
