Veteran quarterback Drew Lock agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal with the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The 27-year-old will be tasked with backing up Daniel Jones once Jones is fully recovered from his torn ACL.

The Denver Broncos sent Lock to the Seattle Seahawks as part of the Russell Wilson trade ahead of the 2022 season. At the time, it looked like the 2019 second-round pick would have an opportunity to kick-start his career after a disappointing start in the Mile High City.

But Geno Smith proceeded to not only win the starting job but also far exceeded everyone's expectations.
