Russell Wilson Signs Deal with New York Giants
The New York Giants have two veteran quarterbacks on their roster now. New York signed Jameis Winston to a two year deal a week ago. Russell Wilson signed a deal with the New York Giants. The one-year deal is worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed. The 10-time Pro Bowl selection had been in discussions with the Giants, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. Wilson won Super Bowl XLVIII in MetLife Stadium when he was the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks.
Their quarterback room now consists of Wilson, Winston and Tommy DeVito. DeVito is a holdover who appeared in 12 games for the team the past two seasons. New York currently holds the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Will they select a quarterback? It has been rumored that the Titans will select Cam Ward with the No. 1 pick. If Cleveland doesn’t select Shadeur Sanders, will the Giants select him with the 3rd pick?
Wilson spent his first 10 years with the Seahawks and threw two touchdown passes in Seattle’s Super Bowl XLVIII win. He has 46,135 passing yards, a 64.7% completion percentage (3,882 for 6,001) and 350 touchdown passes to 111 interceptions over a 13-year career.
