NFL News: Russell Wilson sends first message after choosing Giants over Steelers as next team

Russell Wilson has made his choice and has signed with the New York Giants. The veteran quarterback decided not to wait for the Pittsburgh Steelers, considering that Mike Tomlin always wanted Aaron Rodgers as his starter.

Now, Wilson will have to compete for the QB1 spot in New York with Jameis Winston, with the big question being whether the Giants will select another quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming draft. For many experts, Russ’s arrival is a sign that by that time, Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders will be off the board.

After bittersweet experiences with the Broncos and Steelers, Russell Wilson will look to make the New York Giants a Super Bowl contender again. It’s a task that seems almost impossible in a division alongside the Commanders, Cowboys, and the Eagles.

Did Russell Wilson sign with the Steelers?

No. Russell Wilson did not sign with the Steelers because he couldn’t wait for Mike Tomlin to make a final decision. Therefore, with few starting quarterback vacancies left, he chose the Giants.

In fact, Wilson had also visited the Browns in Cleveland, but according to various reports, the $20 million he was asking for per year was too high a price for Kevin Stefanski’s team.

In a very special detail, the quarterback returns to the place where he won the only Super Bowl of his career: MetLife Stadium. On February 2, 2014, the Seahawks defeated the Broncos 43-8, led by Peyton Manning.
