Russell Wilson Says Chance to Play With ‘Special’ Young WR Was Key to Signing With Giants

Russell Wilson signed with the New York Giants this offseason, and enters the summer as QB1 with his third franchise in as many years. The Giants added the veteran after bringing a close to the Daniel Jones era last season, in hopes that he can be a bridge to rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, the Ole Miss gunslinger that New York traded back into the first round of April's NFL draft to select.

Wilson, 36, has shown some flashes reminiscent of his best years with the Seattle Seahawks over the last few seasons, but has clearly been on a decline during his time with the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers. He signed with the Giants in hopes of catching a young offense heading in the right direction and giving the latter portion of his career a jolt, namely by pairing with New York's young bourgeoning star wide receiver, Malik Nabers.
