Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson said he expects to be the Giants’ starting quarterback.

Wilson signed with the Giants on Tuesday, inking a one-year deal with $10.5 million guaranteed. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the deal is loaded with incentives. Russ can make up to another $10.5 million via a variety of incentives and escalators. Because of this, the Giants’ front office likely told Wilson he would get the first crack at the starting gig when he signed. Wilson is joined by Tommy DeVito and fellow free agent addition Jameis Winston on the roster. Winston is on a two-year deal and is being paid like a backup while DeVito’s time in the spotlight should be over. Barring a surprise via the 2025 NFL Draft, Wilson should be penciled in as the Giants’ Week 1 starter.
