The New York Giants have signed veteran quarterback Russell Wilson to a one-year contract worth up to $21 million, with $10.5 million guaranteed. Wilson, 36, brings extensive experience, including a Super Bowl championship with the Seattle Seahawks and ten Pro Bowl selections.
Wilson’s recent tenure includes a stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024, where he started 11 games, throwing for 2,382 yards and 16 touchdowns. His arrival in New York aims to stabilize the Giants’ quarterback position following a challenging 3-14 season. The team also signed Jameis Winston on a two-year contract, providing additional depth at the position.
Looking ahead, the Giants hold the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and are considering selecting a quarterback, such as Shedeur Sanders, to develop as a long-term solution. Wilson’s short-term contract offers the team flexibility to pursue this strategy while benefiting from his leadership and experience in the interim.
