Giants Sign Russell Wilson to One-Year Deal as Quarterback Transition Takes Shape

The veteran quarterback joins New York on a $21 million deal, positioning him as a short-term starter while the team eyes a rookie quarterback in the NFL Draft.

The New York Giants have signed Russell Wilson to a one-year contract worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed.
Wilson, 36, is expected to serve as a bridge quarterback while the Giants plan to draft a quarterback with the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
The Giants previously pursued Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers before settling on Wilson as their short-term solution.
Wilson joins a quarterback room that includes Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito, signaling a focus on rebuilding after a 3-14 season.
Speculation continues around the Giants potentially drafting Shedeur Sanders, with his father, Deion Sanders, publicly advocating for the pick.
