It was a good day at the office for former Penn Staters in the NFL.
Edge rusher Odafe Oweh signed a four-year, $100 million deal with the Washington Commanders, and wide receiver Jahan Dotson agreed to a two-year, $15 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
But neither could say that they are the highest-paid players at their position.
The honor belongs to a former Penn State special teamer.
Punter Jordan Stout has agreed to a three-year, $12.3 million contract to join the New York Giants, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The deal makes Stout the highest-paid punter in the NFL at $4.1 million per season, $50,000 more annually than Michael Dickson of the Seattle Seahawks.
Stout reunites with John Harbaugh, who joined the Giants after being fired by the Ravens after 18 seasons in Baltimore.
The 27-year-old punter was a First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowler in 2025.
