Russell Wilson Joins Giants as Starting Quarterback on One-Year Deal
The 36-year-old former Pro Bowler signed a $10.5 million guaranteed contract, with incentives up to $21 million, as New York continues its quarterback rebuild.
- Russell Wilson has signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants, worth $10.5 million guaranteed and up to $21 million with incentives, making him the expected starter for the 2025 season.
- The Giants also signed Jameis Winston to a two-year deal earlier this offseason, signaling a transitional approach while exploring long-term quarterback solutions.
- Despite Wilson's signing, the Giants remain open to drafting a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, potentially targeting Shedeur Sanders or another top prospect.
- Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion, expressed confidence in his ability to lead the team and emphasized his readiness to build a winning culture in New York.
- The move follows a disappointing 3-14 season for the Giants, who released former starter Daniel Jones in November and are under pressure to improve under head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen.
