Giants' Thomas inks 5-year, $117.5M extension with record $67M guaranteed

The New York Giants and left tackle Andrew Thomas agreed to a five-year, $117.5-million extension that includes $67 million fully guaranteed, a record for an offensive lineman, his representation told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Thomas' new deal leaves him under contract through the 2029 season, Schefter adds.

The contract's average annual value of $23.5 million is the second-highest among offensive linemen in NFL history, according to Spotrac.

The 24-year-old is coming off a breakout campaign where he was named to the Second-Team All-Pro squad. He started 16 games in 2022 and was rated third-highest on PFF's list of offensive tackles.

The fourth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Thomas has developed into a trusted blindside protector for quarterback Daniel Jones over the course of 44 career starts.

Thomas is the latest member of the Giants to be rewarded with an extension this offseason, joining Jones and defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence. Jones inked a four-year, $160-million deal while Lawrence signed a four-year, $90-million pact. The club also franchise-tagged running back Saquon Barkley before agreeing to an amended franchise tag deal worth up to $11 million over one year.
