Overview

• Daboll made the decision official Thursday, with Russell Wilson set as the Week 1 starter at Washington.
• The shift follows a 3-14 season in which Daboll called plays and the offense ranked 31st in points per game.
• Owner John Mara said he asked Daboll to reconsider calling plays, a conversation that helped steer the change.
• Kafka ran the offense through OTAs and preseason, calling from the sideline as the Giants averaged 35.7 points across three games.
• The fourth-year coordinator previously handled play-calling in 2022 and parts of 2023, has drawn head-coaching interest, and now works with a revamped quarterback room that includes Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart.
