Another big quarterback domino of 2025 NFL free agency has fallen. Quarterback Russell Wilson signed a one-year deal worth up to $21 million with the New York Giants on Tuesday night. The deal includes $10.5 million guaranteed.
Wilson, 36, threw for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdown passes and 5 interceptions last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. And now he comes to New York even after the team added Jameis Winston to its QB room. Is this a good move for the Giants? Does it help stabilize their offense? Let's size up the deal.
Analytics writer Seth Walder is evaluating the deal based on multiple factors, including on-field impact, salary cap implications, compensation, player value/age and the context of the Giants' short- and long-term outlooks. How large is the impact of this decision and how sure are we it's a good or bad choice? We also asked NFL draft analyst Matt Miller to make sense of the deal from a draft perspective. How does the signing change draft plans for the Giants, who have been matched to Colorado's Shedeur Sanders in many mock drafts?
Here's our take on the big QB move, including a grade.
