Russell Wilson's Cryptic Message and Studio Appearance Put NFL Future in Focus

The benched Giants quarterback signals a reset after a downturn that has yielded limited production in 2025.

Overview

  • “Man… I gotta get back to Ballin’ & being Me. Back to my First 10. It’s time. Time to go Dark,” Wilson wrote in response to a fan post on X.
  • His reply followed NFL reporter Michael Ritter’s claim that the 2017–2020 version of Wilson would be the best quarterback in today’s league.
  • During New York’s Week 14 bye, Wilson appeared as a guest analyst on The NFL Today, adding to questions about his next move.
  • Wilson signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the Giants, started three games, was benched for Jaxson Dart, and was bypassed for Jameis Winston when Dart was injured.
  • He has appeared in six games this season with 831 passing yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions, and reporting indicates his future in New York is unlikely as potential low-cost suitors are discussed for the offseason.
