Overview

• Head coach Brian Daboll reiterated that Russell Wilson will start the opener, with first-rounder Jaxson Dart developing from the bench.
• Dart capped an undefeated preseason for New York by going 32-for-47 for roughly 372 yards with three touchdowns, no interceptions and a 113 passer rating.
• Assistant GM Brandon Brown underscored a sit-and-learn approach for Dart, citing the value of a bird’s‑eye view before taking live reps.
• Analysts ramped up calls for an earlier handoff, with Mike Tannenbaum arguing Dart outplayed Wilson, while others floated Wilson as a potential trade candidate in speculative discussion tied to his one‑year, $10.5 million deal.
• Reporting highlighted Wilson’s leadership and positive influence on receivers, including Malik Nabers, even as an early tough schedule could test how long the plan holds.
