NFL fans have been waiting years for this: Russell Wilson is officially a New York Giant. The veteran quarterback signed a one-year deal, giving Big Blue some much-needed experience under center. But while this move might make headlines, it doesn’t exactly send shockwaves through the NFC East—especially not in Washington.
The Commanders, fresh off an NFC Championship appearance, have little reason to stress. Jayden Daniels, last season’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, is already miles ahead of any QB on the Giants’ roster. Plus, New York still has major gaps at wide receiver and defense, making them a long shot to compete for the division title.
And let’s be real—Wilson isn’t New York’s long-term solution. The Giants hold the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, and team owner John Mara has made it clear: finding the franchise’s next quarterback is the priority. Wilson (and Jameis Winston, for that matter) are just short-term stopgaps.
Meanwhile, the NFC East remains as competitive as ever. The Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champs, the Cowboys are always a threat with a healthy Dak Prescott, and the Commanders have positioned themselves as legit contenders. So while the Giants made a splash, Washington isn’t losing any sleep over it.
