The New York Giants are using the 2025 NFL offseason to deepen a carefully planned transition led by head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen. After a disappointing 2024 campaign, the team brought in veteran Russell Wilson on a one-year deal and selected promising quarterback Jaxson Dart in the first round of the draft, while also keeping Jameis Winston on the roster.

The upcoming debate over who will claim the Giants’ starting QB spot is set to be intense. Wilson has made it clear on multiple occasions that he wants playing time to prove he can be the starter, but he’s up against two high-caliber contenders in Winston and Dart.

With the start of preseason training, Daboll is getting a closer look at his players’ performances, and rumors are beginning to swirl about who will be the starting quarterback. One of the main voices weighing in has been NFL insider Chris Simms, who shared insight on the situation.

According to Simms, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Giants have Dart as their starting quarterback in Week 1 if he continues to impress during training camp and the preseason. ā€œIt wouldn’t surprise me if he started right away,ā€ the analyst said on the Up & Adams Show.

ā€œIt wouldn’t surprise me… The amount of money they’re paying Russell Wilson doesn’t guarantee him the starting quarterback job, right? I don’t think they’re afraid to start Jaxson Dart here… That’s why they like him,ā€ Simms concluded, hinting at the stance of the New York franchise.

The future outlook presented by Simms would be a setback for Wilson in his bid for the starting role. Time will tell if Daboll believes Dart is the future in New York, a team that must move on from a 3-14 season and will need both talent and composure in its offensive leadership.
