Ciara Celebrates Russell Wilson’s New $21M Deal With the Giants
Russell Wilson is officially heading to New York, and his wife, Grammy-winning R&B star Ciara, is all in on the move. After the veteran quarterback signed a one-year deal with the Giants worth up to $21 million, Ciara took to social media to celebrate.
She shared a throwback photo of Wilson in a New York Yankees jersey and helmet, captioning it, “New York State of Mind! My greatest inspiration @dangerusswilson,” while playing Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ iconic track Empire State of Mind.
Wilson, 36, joins the Giants after a brief stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he led them to the playoffs last season. His arrival could shift the team’s draft strategy, as they hold the No. 3 overall pick and were previously expected to target a quarterback. With Wilson now in place, the Giants might have the flexibility to pursue other top talents instead.
For Wilson, New York isn’t unfamiliar territory. He once played in the Yankees’ minor league system and even took an at-bat in spring training. More importantly, he’s no stranger to MetLife Stadium, the site of his Super Bowl XLVIII victory with the Seahawks.
Wilson himself acknowledged the connection, posting a photo of MetLife Stadium on X with the caption: “Been here before… can’t wait to do it again.” Now, he’ll look to bring that championship energy back to the Giants.
