Ex-New York Giants QB Russell Wilson weighing offer from Jets

Former New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson has received an offer from the Jets, reports Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post.

Wilson began the 2025 season as the Giants' starting quarterback but was extremely underwhelming in his lone year with the team. He was benched for rookie quarterback Jaxon Dart after just four weeks, having failed to perform consistently at a high level aside from his strong Week 2 outing in Dallas.

Wilson met with the Jets at their facility last week and now appears to have a chance to reunite with his former teammate Geno Smith in New York. Following the visit, the 37-year-old quarterback addressed his options as he weighs his next move.

"It was great," he said. "They offered me, and I'm trying to figure out what the next best thing is for me to do. I still know I can play ball at a high level, but also I have an opportunity to do TV, so we'll see what happens."

A 14-year veteran and likely future Hall of Famer, Wilson threw for 831 yards and three touchdowns in six games with the Giants in 2025. He now faces a decision after receiving the contract offer from the Jets.

Should he sign, Wilson would serve as the Jets' backup quarterback behind Geno Smith and would find himself back in New York for the 2026 season.
