Giants Agree to Make Jordan Stout NFL’s Highest-Paid Punter on Three-Year, $12.3 Million Deal

The All-Pro’s arrival reflects John Harbaugh’s push to invest in special teams.

Overview

  • The agreement in principle was reported Monday during the free-agent negotiating window, with ESPN noting the three-year, $12.3 million terms that set a new top average salary for punters.
  • Stout reunites with John Harbaugh in New York and follows tight end Isaiah Likely from the Ravens to the Giants.
  • Coming off a breakout 2025, Stout earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors and led the NFL with a 44.9-yard net average while posting a 50.1-yard gross and a 74-yard long.
  • The move is expected to end Jamie Gillan’s run as the Giants’ punter after a down 2025, signaling a clear upgrade in field-position play.
  • Baltimore now must find a new punter and replace Stout’s role as the holder in its field-goal operation.
