After a difficult one-year stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024, Russell Wilson joined the New York Giants this past offseason. However, he was relegated to a substitute role after just three games.
Rookie Jaxson Dart quickly showed promise once he got a chance to start, but his season was briefly derailed by an injury. Jameis Winston, not Wilson, replaced Dart in some games. Dart returned to the starting lineup in Week 13, casting further doubt on Wilson’s future with the Giants.
However, Wilson does not appear willing to resign in 2026.

On Wednesday, Wilson responded to a social media user who stated, “Russell Wilson from 2017-2020 would be the best quarterback in the NFL if he played today.”

The statement was a response to a clip from FOX Sports’ daily morning show, “Wake Up Barstool,” which debated whether Wilson’s career shared similarities with that of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

“Man… I gotta get back to Ballin’ & be Yo. Back to my top 10. It’s time. It’s time to go dark,” Wilson wrote in X.
It has only been three seasons in the NFL since Wilson was among the highest-paid stars in league history. The Super Bowl winner appeared to be on the fast track to Canton to be enshrined in the Hall of Fame shortly after hanging up his cleats.
In March 2022, the Seahawks traded Wilson to the Denver Broncos. His two-year stay in Denver was tumultuous.

Wilson has seen limited action after his latest benching. Barring a major roster shakeup or an injury crisis in the Giants’ quarterback room, Wilson is on pace to finish the season with career-lows in touchdowns and passing yards.
He has thrown for 831 yards and three touchdowns against three interceptions in six games this season. The 37-year-old could draw interest from teams looking for a bridge quarterback, considering the expected limited number of options available in next offseason’s free agent quarterback class.
