Giants Name Rookie Jaxson Dart Starting QB for Rest of Season

The 0-3 start prompted a pivot to development, moving Russell Wilson to QB2.

Overview

  • Brian Daboll said the team is “going with Jaxson” and will prepare him to start the remainder of the 2025 season.
  • Russell Wilson has been demoted to backup, with his longer‑term status unresolved ahead of the November 4 trade deadline.
  • Dart has logged just six regular‑season snaps without a pass attempt after a strong preseason that featured a touchdown in each game.
  • The rookie’s debut comes against the 3-0 Chargers, whose defense has allowed fewer than 17 points per game through three weeks.
  • Dart enters a tough early slate that includes multiple recent playoff teams, intensifying scrutiny on Daboll and GM Joe Schoen.
