The New York Giants made their quarterback decision, signing Russell Wilson to a one-year deal worth up to $21 million. Instead of shelling out big bucks for Aaron Rodgers, they opted for a more affordable and flexible option. Wilson might not be at his peak anymore, but he’s still an upgrade from what they had last season.
What’s the Giants’ Game Plan Now?
The Giants are keeping their options open. Wilson is the likely starter, but they also have Jameis Winston in the mix. And with the third overall pick in the draft, they could still snag a young quarterback if the right player is available. Essentially, they’re playing it smart—raising their floor while leaving room for future moves.
What About Kirk Cousins and the Browns?
Kirk Cousins is in no rush to waive his no-trade clause. He doesn’t want a repeat of last year’s drama, where Atlanta drafted a QB after signing him. But if the Browns go for a defensive player with their second overall pick, Cousins could be a solid short-term option for them, given his history with Cleveland’s head coach Kevin Stefanski.
How Many Wide Receivers Will Go in the First Round?
Probably three. Texas’ Matthew Golden and Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan are locks. Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka has a solid chance depending on his pro day performance. Missouri’s Luther Burden III, Ole Miss’ Tre Harris, and Iowa State’s Jayden Higgins are in the mix but more likely second-round picks.
Jets and Jaxson Dart—A First-Round Pick?
The Jets might have interest in Jaxson Dart, but using a first-round pick on him seems like a stretch. If they want him, the second round is a more reasonable spot.
Offensive Tackle Class—Strong or Weak?
Not a great year for offensive tackles. LSU’s Will Campbell is a top prospect but might end up at guard. Missouri’s Armand Membou played right tackle in college. Alabama’s Tyler Booker is solid but not a game-changer. Compared to past years, this class lacks a surefire elite tackle.
What’s Up With the Geno Smith Contract?
No major holdups—just typical contract negotiations. The Raiders likely wouldn’t have traded for him if they didn’t think they could work out a deal. The biggest sticking point is probably guaranteed money.
Patriots’ Draft Strategy at No. 4
If top prospects Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter are gone, New England could target Will Campbell or Georgia’s Jalon Walker. Both fit the team’s needs and playstyle.
How Much Will Aidan Hutchinson Get Paid?
Hutchinson’s next contract could hit $40 million per year, putting him in elite company with Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby. If the Lions extend him now, they could structure the deal to keep his yearly cap hit reasonable.
Brandon Aiyuk Trade Watch
The 49ers aren’t in a rush to move Aiyuk, but they’re open to listening. If no trade happens before April 1—when his $22.8 million option bonus kicks in—he’s likely staying in San Francisco.
What’s the Raiders’ Offseason Plan?
Vegas made a splash by landing Geno Smith and added key defensive pieces like Jeremy Chinn and Eric Stokes. But their real test will come in the draft, where they have the No. 6 pick.
Are the Giants Still Interested in Aaron Rodgers?
Rodgers was reportedly planning to visit New Jersey after meeting with the Steelers. Whether he actually meets with the Giants remains unclear, but the Wilson signing suggests they’ve moved on—for now.
