Russell Wilson Will Be Joining The New York Giants For 2025
It was just last week that the Giants signed veteran quarterback Jameis Winston. Prior to that Tommy DeVito was the only quarterback they had on the roster. But as always things can happen pretty quickly in the NFL. Today it was announced that Russell Wilson will be joining the New York Giants for the 2025 season. Wilson will say farewell to the Pittsburgh Steelers after spending 2024 with them. This will be Wilson’s third team in as many seasons. Prior to Pittsburgh he spent a couple years with the Denver Broncos. But he and head coach Sean Payton did not mesh.
Coming through with the details as always is ESPN Insider Adam Schefter and he posted the following:
“ESPN Sources: The Giants and Super Bowl-winning QB Russell Wilson reached agreement today on a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed. The 10-time Pro-Bowl selection had been in discussions with the Giants, Browns and Steelers, but is opting for New York, where Wilson won Super Bowl XLVIII in MetLife Stadium. Now, Wilson is returning there as the Giants’ projected starting QB.”
Wilson had suffered a calf injury during the summer of 2024 which sidelined him for the beginning of the season. However, Wilson was ready to go Week 7 and Justin Fields was benched after going 4-2. He got off to a hot start winning seven games and losing one before things cooled off losing the last four games of the season. However, that doesn’t mean he won’t be able to help the Giants win, especially since he is projected to be their starting quarterback.

I have to wonder why the Steelers let both Fields and Wilson go to other teams. Currently they have Mason Rudolph as their starter and Skylar Thompson as their backup. It doesn’t seem that they improved their roster by letting their former starters go. Oddly enough, both Wilson and Fields will be playing in New York as Fields signed with the Jets to be their starting quarterback. So the time both spent in Pittsburgh helped them to move on to new teams.
Overall Wilson has had a stellar career having won a Super Bowl and selected to the Pro Bowl multiple times. His deep ball is still a thing of beauty and he can scramble when he needs to. At any rate he should be an improvement over what the Giants had last season which was pretty dismal.
