Russell Wilson has officially found his next NFL home, signing a one-year deal with the New York Giants worth up to $21 million. The veteran quarterback took his time weighing his options before deciding to join the Giants, where he’ll look to revitalize a struggling franchise. The move also brings Wilson back to MetLife Stadium, the site of his Super Bowl XLVIII victory with the Seattle Seahawks.
While Wilson’s arrival in New York has sparked plenty of discussion, his wife, singer-songwriter Ciara, also shared her excitement about the transition. Shortly after the news broke, she took to Instagram with a simple yet telling message: “What a day. Grateful for new beginnings.”
Ciara and Wilson, who married in 2016, have three children together. Over the years, she has built an impressive career in the music industry, earning a Grammy, multiple MTV Video Music Awards, and BET Awards. Now, she and her family are set to embrace life in the New York City area as Wilson gears up for his latest NFL challenge.
Wilson, now 36, may not be the same dynamic quarterback who once led the Seahawks to perennial contention, but he showed last season that he still has something left in the tank. After joining the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024, he helped the team to a 10-win season and a playoff appearance, throwing for 2,482 yards and 16 touchdowns with a 63.7% completion rate in 11 games.
The Giants, who struggled offensively in 2024, are hoping Wilson can bring stability and leadership to their quarterback room. His experience and winning pedigree could be exactly what they need to stay competitive in the NFC East. However, questions remain about whether he is a short-term fix or if the Giants will look to draft a quarterback for the future.
Regardless of how things unfold, Wilson and Ciara are embracing this new chapter. Now, it’s up to him to prove he still has what it takes to lead an NFL team to success.
