Russell Wilson, born on November 29, 1988, is a professional football quarterback with a distinguished career spanning multiple NFL teams. He began with the Seattle Seahawks, earning nine Pro Bowl selections and securing a Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl XLVIII. In 2022, Wilson joined the Denver Broncos, followed by a stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024, where he threw for 2,482 yards and 16 touchdowns over 11 games.
On March 25, 2025, Wilson signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants, valued at $10.5 million, with potential incentives bringing the total to $21 million. This move positions him as the Giants’ starting quarterback, aiming to provide veteran leadership and stability to a team coming off a challenging 3-14 season.
Despite this acquisition, the Giants, holding the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, are reportedly considering drafting a quarterback to secure their long-term future at the position.
Wilson’s wife, Ciara, publicly expressed support for his new role with the Giants, sharing a post on social media that highlighted their excitement about the move.
