The Giants are reportedly interested in Wilson
There has been a lot of chatter surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers and Russell Wilson over the last week. A report from Gerry Dulac claims that Wilson had training wheels put on him by offensive coordinator Arthur Smith with claims that he wasn’t allowed to check and audible at the line of scrimmage. However, that report has been refuted and called false by CBS Sports’ Aditi Kinkhabwala.
All indications feel like Wilson’s time with the Steelers is over, but he very clearly still wants to play. And according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the New York Giants may be the landing spot.
“Wilson loved his season in Pittsburgh and is open to returning but is taking a see-what-happens approach to it all,” Fowler writes. “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.”
The Giants are coming off a dreadful year in which Daniel Jones was released and they won just three games. They surprisingly brought back both head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen and are heavily expected to add a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft.
