Brad Wing who is 25 had previously signed a one-year $600,000 deal for 2016 as an exclusive rights free agent.
The three-year extension is for $6.45 million and contains $3.725 million in guarantees. This new deal clearly shows that in the Giants view Wing as their punter now and into the future.
Also a Browns former quarterback also sent some congratulations to Wing…
