The New York Giants made a splash this week by signing veteran quarterback Russell Wilson to a one-year deal, completing their quarterback depth chart for the 2025 season. With Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito also on the roster, the Giants’ quarterback room is sure to be full of contrasting personalities, leading to some amusing speculation among NFL fans. The combination of Wilson, Winston, and DeVito is already being compared to a buddy cop comedy, with fans eagerly anticipating the banter and potential on-field antics.
Wilson, coming off an 11-start season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, had a solid performance, completing 63.7% of his passes for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns, and just 5 interceptions. Winston, who played for the Cleveland Browns, had similar numbers, throwing for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions across 12 games.
Fans on social media are already imagining the pair’s dynamic in the quarterback room, with one tweet humorously suggesting that it should be televised. Another fan compared it to a “Pinky and the Brain” mentorship scenario, while others joked about the potential for hilarious calls on New York’s WFAN radio.
With coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen facing a critical season, the Giants are under pressure to perform, though they’re currently predicted to finish last in the NFC East, behind the reigning Super Bowl champs, the Philadelphia Eagles, as well as the Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys.
It’s safe to say that the Giants’ quarterback situation is one of the most intriguing storylines heading into the 2025 season.
