The New York Giants met with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson last offseason but in the end, nothing materialized. Instead, he opted to sign a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wilson now appears headed back to free agency and once again, the Giants are in the market for a quarterback. General manager Joe Schoen could sign or trade for a veteran or select one in the 2025 NFL draft.
Or both.
Wilson is an intriguing option given that he’s both a fit for Brian Daboll’s offensive system and has long desired to play in New York. And while he’s not the dominant quarterback he once was, he could fill the role as a bridge quarterback quite nicely.
Unsurprisingly, the Giants are on Wilson’s free agent radar, reports Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
Wilson loved his season in Pittsburgh and is open to returning but is taking a see-what-happens approach to it all. Ex-Pete Carroll assistants believe Wilson could coexist with Carroll for the Raiders, too, having mended fences from their Seattle days. But others around the league are skeptical of the pairing. Wilson has also been connected to the Giants by a few people this week. He visited with the Giants last free agency, and New York is on his radar as a potential option in 2025.
In 11 games this past season, Wilson completed 63.7 percent of his passes for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions. He also rushed for 155 yards and two additional touchdowns.
By comparison, Giants quarterbacks combined for 19 total touchdowns in 17 games.
