Russell Wilson has recently signed with the New York Giants, joining a team looking to revitalize its offense. Meanwhile, the Big Apple franchise holds the third overall pick in the NFL draft and is keeping an eye on potential prospects with starter potential. Malik Nabers, for his part, could have another young star by his side.
Despite having an up-and-down season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Wilson has been acquired by the Giants to bring his experience and leadership to the team. His arrival comes at a time of uncertainty for the franchise, which has yet to define its future at the quarterback position.
The draft is approaching, and with it, changes could be made to the Giants’ roster, which had a disappointing 2024 campaign. Nabers has been one of the standout players from the previous season and could use this year to propel himself as a star. In this regard, New York is considering making room on the roster.
Potential key weapon to leave Giants
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter has labeled wide receiver Jalin Hyatt as a potential key weapon who could be on his way out of the Giants. The 23-year-old player is on a rookie contract, and according to Schefter, he could be expendable for the New York franchise.

Hyatt’s potential departure from the Giants could have implications for the draft selection, with quarterback Shedeur Sanders being one of the candidates New York may choose. The situation will evolve, and it could impact the young wide receiver’s status with the team.
