Unfortunately for the Giants, they fell short in the next round against the Philadelphia Eagles, but it was still a good season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-vs-giants-how-to-watch-sunday-night-football-week-1-date-time-live-stream-tv" rel="noopener">The Giants are hoping</a> for another postseason run this year, and they should be sound in the kicking department as Graham Gano is back with a brand new deal.</p><p>Graham Gano and the Giants agreed to a <a href="https://twitter.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1700253379266793788" rel="noopener">three-year extension</a> worth $16.5 million on Friday, according to a tweet from Jeremy Fowler. Gano is a veteran kicker and he is one of the best kickers in the league, and the Giants wanted to make sure they don’t lose him.</p><p>Gano has been in the NFL since 2009 and established himself as a top kicker later in his career with the Carolina Panthers. He has been with Giants 2020 and is 89/97 on field goals since coming to New York. He has a career field goal percentage of 84.6% and a career extra point percentage of 95%. Kicking and special teams can often be overlooked, but it is a crucial part of the game, and having a kicker like Gano is extremely important.</p><p>At 36 years old, Gano’s career is beginning to wind down, but as a kicker, his body doesn’t get nearly as many hits as players at other positions. Gano still has some good years ahead of him in his playing career.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Upon arriving with the Giants, Thibodeaux made it known that he wanted to wear no. five, the jersey he donned as a star for the Ducks. Only, Giants kicker Graham Gano had worn the number for the past two seasons- and <a href="https://giantswire.usatoday.com/2021/04/22/new-york-giants-jabrill-peppers-graham-gano-continue-negotiations-jersey-no-5/?msclkid=baedb1e6d09d11ecab47c91520857b52">hasn’t been keen on giving it up</a> in the past. Gano negotiated with Thibodeaux, who ultimately secured the right to wear no. 5, thanks in part to last season’s rule change that allowed defensive players to wear single-digit jersey numbers. With a projected lucrative rookie deal on the way, Thibodeaux could afford to tell Gano to name his price. The Giants placekicker did- and after Thibodeaux met it, $50,000 were donated to a very good cause, as reported by Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">What did it cost <a href="https://twitter.com/kayvont?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@kayvont</a> to get No. 5 from <a href="https://twitter.com/GrahamGano?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@GrahamGano</a>?</p><p>$50,000.</p><p>And it was all donated to Puppies Behind Bars (<a href="https://twitter.com/pbborganization?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@pbborganization</a>), which trains service dogs for wounded war veterans and first responders, per the <a href="https://twitter.com/Giants?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@Giants</a>.</p><p>— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) <a href="https://twitter.com/RVacchianoSNY/status/1524106808306065410?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 10, 2022</a></p></blockquote><div class="code-block code-block-20" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;"></div><p></p></figure><p>$50,000 were donated to Puppies Behind Bars, which is a non-profit organization in New York City that trains service dogs for wounded war veterans and first responders.
