The deal is also said to have a fifth-year option.
In just a short time in the Big Apple, Dart has already impressed.
Although he is slated to be the QB3 behind Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston next year, New York is already preparing to hand the keys over to Dart after a year of development.

There’s a bit of extra good news for Dart, too.
With this big payday, he likely has enough to buy the No. 2 from CB Deonte Banks if the asking price hasn’t been raised, of course.
