Overview

  • Wilson remains entrenched as the Giants’ Week 1 starter after signing a one-year deal worth up to $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed.
  • First-round pick Jaxson Dart is working with the second-team offense and studying under offensive coordinator Mike Kafka to adapt to New York’s system.
  • The quarterback room features veterans Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito alongside Wilson and Dart, blending experience with youth.
  • Wilson has organized team dinners and off-site throwing sessions to build chemistry among quarterbacks, offensive linemen and running backs.
  • Coach Brian Daboll has given no timeframe for when Dart might challenge for first-team reps, leaving his path to the starting role open.
