Congratulations:Andrew Thomas agrees to massive $117 million contract extension with Giants
It may seem like a long time ago but in actuality it was not. Andrew Thomas, who was chosen by the Giants with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was not performing at a level comparable to that of a franchise left tackle less than three years ago.
