US EditionRussell Wilson to Giants Has Huge NFL Draft Implications
- Veteran free agent Russell Wilson signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants, joining recent signees Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito in the quarterback room.
- With the front office and coaching staff potentially on borrowed time after falling short of their 2022 playoff run, the Giants were aggressively addressing their quarterback need, especially with the third overall pick in the upcoming draft.
- The Giants' signing of Wilson, with a base salary of $10.5 million and the opportunity to earn more through incentives, along with Winston, suggests they may not expect a top quarterback prospect to be available at pick three, potentially influencing their draft strategy.
- Giants General Manager Joe Schoen, who stated back in February that he is for taking swings at the quarterback position until he finds one, landed Winston a few days before agreeing to terms with Wilson on Tuesday, improving a quarterback room that previously consisted of only Tommy DeVito.
- The Giants' acquisition of Wilson alleviates the immediate pressure to draft a quarterback with the third overall pick, allowing them to exhale, potentially draft an elite prospect at another position, and buy time for Schoen and coach Brian Daboll to save their jobs, though questions about a long-term quarterback solution remain.
