Russell Wilson reportedly agrees to deal with New York Giants

Russell Wilson is changing homes for a second consecutive offseason.

Wilson and the New York Giants have agreed to a one-year, $21 million deal with $10.5 million guaranteed, ESPN reported Tuesday.

The Giants were among the teams to have trade talks with the Los Angeles Rams about Matthew Stafford before the quarterback agreed to a revised contract to stay in L.A. They were also in on Aaron Rodgers, who remains a free agent.

Wilson spent last season with the Steelers, who signed him to a one-year deal following the quarterback being released by the Denver Broncos after the 2023 NFL season.

Wilson missed the first six games of the 2024 season due to a calf injury, with Justin Fields — who has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with the New York Jets — starting in his place. Across the 11 regular-season games he started, Wilson totaled 2,482 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, five interceptions and a 95.6 passer rating, while completing 63.7% of his passes. The Steelers went 10-7 in the regular season before losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card round, losing a combined five consecutive games to close the season.

New York is coming off a 3-14 season and has the third pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It released quarterback Daniel Jones in the second season of a four-year, $160 million deal after the team’s 2-8 start. Head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen return for their fourth season at their respective posts.

The Giants started three different quarterbacks and had four quarterbacks play altogether last season: Jones (10 starts), Drew Lock (five starts), Tommy DeVito (two starts) and Tim Boyle (one appearance). DeVito, who was an exclusive rights free agent, recently re-signed with the Giants on a one-year deal.

Wilson joins a Giants offense that was 23rd in the NFL in rushing yards (104.9 per game), 28th in passing yards (189.9 per game), 30th in total yards (294.8 per game) and 31st in points (16.1 per game) last season. That said, it includes young star wide receiver Malik Nabers, who totaled a franchise-record 109 receptions in his 2024 rookie season, fellow receiver Wan’Dale Robinson (93 receptions in 2024) and running back Tyrone Tracy (839 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 4.4 yards per carry and 284 receiving yards in his 2024 rookie campaign). The Giants also reportedly agreed to a three-year deal to re-sign wide receiver Darius Slayton.

Elsewhere on the free agent front, New York signed defensive backs Paulson Adebo and Jevon Holland and re-signed wide receiver Darius Slayton to three-year deals apiece, among other moves.
