Giants Sign QBs Russell Wilson to 1-Year Deal, Jameis Winston to 2-Year Deal

It’s a two-year deal worth $8M a year for Winston and a one year deal worth up to $21M and $10.5M guaranteed for Wilson. Winston, of course, notably not only yanked the fantasy value of Browns pass catchers from the grave upon assuming the starting job last year, but propelled them to elite production during those games, as well. All of Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Elijah Moore, and David Njoku posted significantly better production with Winston under center in Cleveland than without, and it makes you wonder what a player like Malik Nabers – who was already producing at an elite level with sub-par QB play – could do with the help of a gunslinger like Winston. The prospect is nothing short of enticing, but New York has seemingly hedged their bets on Winston by adding Wilson for 2025. Sitting at No. 3 overall, the Giants are also reasonably within striking distance of Colorado QB Sheduer Sanders assuming the Browns pass him up at No. 2 overall (which isn’t a given). At this point in time, the most likely outcome for Week one would seemingly be Russell Wilson drawing the start given the way his contract is structured. However, there’s a good chance the QB carousel spins at least once or twice this year and we wind up seeing some of Winston, Wilson, and potentially even a rookie QB should the Giants decide to take one (like Shedeur Sanders) at No. 3 overall in April’s draft.
