Overview

  • Coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen have confirmed Wilson as the Week 1 starter after he took the majority of first-team reps during OTAs.
  • Wilson’s one-year contract, worth up to $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed, positions him as the veteran leader of the offense.
  • First-round draft pick Jaxson Dart is in a developmental role under Wilson’s mentorship, benefiting from daily instruction and transparent communication.
  • Wilson has hosted dinners and organized throwing sessions with quarterbacks, linemen and running backs to build cohesion and leadership across the offense.
  • The start of training camp in July will offer a key evaluation point for Dart’s readiness and help shape any future transition in the Giants’ quarterback hierarchy.
