The New York Giants just met with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson.
Hold the phone — the New York Giants are officially in the running for former Super Bowl champion quarterback Russell Wilson ahead of his sit-down with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, “before traveling to Pittsburgh today, Russell Wilson stopped in New Jersey for what one source described as ‘an exploratory meeting’ with the Giants, per league sources.” He’s now meeting with the Steelers on March 8.
Schefter also shared a photo of Wilson at Newark Liberty International Airport as proof of his visit.
Remember, in releasing him, the Denver Broncos are already paying the veteran signal-caller $39 million in 2024. That allows Wilson to potentially sign a one-year deal for a lower cap hit this spring — making him a viable option for a franchise like the Giants or Steelers despite financial commitments to Daniel Jones and Kenny Pickett.
