Giants' Dart: Banks wanted 'too much' for No. 2 jersey
It looks like Jaxson Dart won't be switching back to his college jersey number.
The New York Giants rookie quarterback donned No. 2 at Ole Miss, but he told Cllct Media that Deonte Banks' asking price for the jersey number was too steep.
"Yeah, it was too much," Dart said.
Banks recently switched to No. 2 after striking a deal with new Giants starting quarterback Russell Wilson for his No. 3 jersey.
Dart has been wearing No. 6 at Giants practices so far, though he hasn't fully committed to the jersey number as of yet.
"I think we'll come to a final decision here soon," he said at rookie minicamp earlier this month, according to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. "Quite honestly, I kind of have to just look at the pictures to see if I like myself in No. 6."
The Giants traded up to select Dart with the 25th overall pick in this year's draft. He was the second quarterback off the board behind Cam Ward.
