New York Giants an ideal landing spot for Russell Wilson

We know the New York Giants are interested in bringing in a veteran quarterback this offseason. General manager Joe Schoen told reporters on Tuesday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis that the team is seeking to augment the position either behind — or in front of — current starter Daniel Jones.

“We’ll address the position,” Schoen said. “Again, it can be through free agency, and it doesn’t preclude us from doing it in the draft as well.”

Could one of those veterans the Giants consider possibly be Russell Wilson?

On the NFL Network program NFL Total Access, analyst Bucky Brooks said that two teams — the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants — would offer the Denver Broncos quarterback “a chance for a Super Bowl title.”

“He can be a championship-caliber quarterback on the right team,” Brooks said. “The New York Giants might be in need of a quarterback that stabilizes the situation.”

Not sure how many Giant games Brooks has seen recently, but he appears to be a little off base. The Giants are more than a Russell Wilson away from a Super Bowl after a dismal 6-11 season in 2023.

Wilson would likely be a better solution for the Steelers’ quarterback quandary than trying his luck behind the Giants’ porous offensive line.

Wilson, who is under contract in Denver until 2028, could be on his way out as his salary balloons into the stratosphere this season. Head coach Sean Payton said the team would make a decision in the ‘next two weeks‘ on Wilson.

Make no mistake, Wilson can still play. Last year, he played the first 15 games before being shelved. He completed 66.4 percent of his throws for 3,070 yards with 26 touchdowns versus eight interceptions.

Wilson has played in two Super Bowls and said he would like to play in two more, preferably in Denver. That decision is now in Payton’s hands.
