The 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback is joining the New York Giants on a one-year contract worth $10.5 million, according to NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero, and Mike Garafolo. With incentives, Wilson’s earnings could reach up to $21 million.
He will now take charge of a quarterback room that includes newly signed Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. This move also signals the end of New York’s brief pursuit of Aaron Rodgers, who is now expected to join the Pittsburgh Steelers after departing from the Jets.
Wilson arrives in New York after spending last season in Pittsburgh on a similar one-year deal. The 36-year-old quarterback built an impressive career with the Seattle Seahawks from 2012 to 2021, winning a Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium—where he will now play his home games—and earning nine Pro Bowl selections.
Now set to play for his third team in three seasons, Wilson had a mixed performance last year in Pittsburgh. After recovering from a summer calf injury, he started 11 games, finishing with a 6-5 record while averaging 225.6 passing yards per game, throwing 16 touchdowns, and recording five interceptions.
