Overview
- New York designated the 37-year-old as the emergency third quarterback behind starter Jaxson Dart and backup Jameis Winston, a status that restricts him to playing only if both are injured.
- Wilson watched in street clothes as the Giants lost 33-15 to the Patriots on Monday night, a stark shift for a quarterback once known for a 149-start ironman run in Seattle.
- He opened the 2025 season as the Giants’ starter before losing the job to Dart and later falling behind Winston on the depth chart.
- In six appearances, including three starts, Wilson went 69-of-119 for 831 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions, and he was 0-3 as a starter for the 2-10 Giants.
- He signed a one-year deal reportedly worth up to $21 million and is expected to reach free agency in March, with opinion pieces casting the benching as a career low.
