Giants Sign Russell Wilson as Starting QB, Eye Draft for Long-Term Solution

The New York Giants have added Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston to their quarterback roster while preparing to use the No. 3 draft pick on a young prospect.

The Giants signed Russell Wilson to a one-year deal worth up to $21 million and Jameis Winston to a two-year, $8 million contract to address their quarterback needs.
Russell Wilson, at 36, is expected to start the 2025 season but faces scrutiny due to declining mobility and a high sack rate in recent seasons.
Despite these signings, the Giants are widely expected to draft a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick, possibly targeting Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward.
Critics have questioned the team's reliance on short-term solutions, with some analysts labeling the moves as uninspired and risky.
The Giants' quarterback strategy reflects a balancing act between immediate improvement and long-term rebuilding after a disappointing 3-14 season in 2024.
