Giants to sign free agent quarterback Russell Wilson: report
The New York Giants and NFL free agent quarterback Russell Wilson have agreed terms on a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed, ESPN reported on Tuesday.
Wilson, who piloted the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl title in 2013, had reportedly been in talks with the Giants, the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wilson, 36, who spent his first 10 NFL seasons with the Seahawks, played last year for the Steelers on a one-year, $1.21 million contract, joining Pittsburgh after he was released by the Denver Broncos.
Wilson started the 2024 campaign on the bench but took over the starting job from Justin Fields in week seven.
He remained the Steelers' starter through the rest of the regular season and in a 28-14 wild-card playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Steelers won their first four games with Wilson at quarterback, but finished the regular season 2-5.
Wilson threw for 16 touchdowns with five interceptions in his 11 regular-season starts. In the playoff loss to Baltimore he completed 20 of 29 passes for 270 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
His season with the Steelers followed a disastrous two-year stint with the Broncos, who had acquired him from Seattle in a blockbuster trade.
Denver went 5-12 in his first season with the team, when Wilson was sacked 55 times.
He fared slightly better in 2023, and he was benched for the final two games of that regular season.
