Russell Wilson Joins the Giants – Eli Manning Gives Him a Warm Welcome
Russell Wilson is officially heading to the Big Apple! After just one season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the former Super Bowl champ and Wisconsin Badgers legend has signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the New York Giants.
Wilson’s contract is packed with incentives, potentially pushing his earnings up to $21 Million if he can turn back the clock and play like his prime Seattle days. The deal includes bonuses for hitting key stats, like throwing 20+ touchdowns or surpassing 3,500 passing yards.
At 36, Wilson proved he still has some juice left, leading the Steelers to the playoffs for the first time in four years. While some speculated he might join Aaron Rodgers with the Jets, the Giants ultimately secured the veteran QB.
Eli Manning’s Seal of Approval
Wilson’s arrival in New York caught the attention of Giants legend Eli Manning, who wasted no time welcoming him. In a video call, Manning hyped up the move, telling Wilson, “You’re coming to an unbelievable organization. So excited that you’re here. Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna accomplish.”
Wilson’s response? A simple but enthusiastic: “I love it.”
With Wilson now in blue, all eyes will be on how he fits into the Giants’ system. Will he be the spark they need, or is this just a temporary stop on his journey? Either way, New York just got a whole lot more interesting.
