Head coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers embraced all that is Russell Wilson for one season and one season only and now the Giants get him, signed to a one-year deal worth $10.5 million, plus incentives. Wilson went 6-5 as a starter but the Steelers lost their last five games in 2024 and did not really pursue Wilson when he hit the open market.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen stated that new quarterback Russell Wilson will take first-team reps in a matter of weeks.

In less than a week, the New York Giants went from an empty quarterback room to a full one. They began with a third-stringer (Tommy DeVito) and quickly added two veteran free agents in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston.
