The New York Giants on Tuesday evening ended weeks of speculation and agreed to sign veteran quarterback Russell Wilson to a one-year, $21-million deal, taking him out of the mix for Pittsburgh, where he was under center last season, and adding him to a quarterback room currently occupied by Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito.
Immediately, the deal led to lots of jokes from football fans, many of them laughing about how surreal and 2015-esque the whole thing feels. But some have focused their reaction on one element of this development, in particular: The unexpected but surely enjoyable combination of Winston and Wilson, two of the most earnest quarterbacks in the league.
