Russell Wilson is heading to Gotham.
The 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback is signing a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the New York Giants to become their starter, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday. Wilson can earn up to $21 million on the deal with incentives, The Insiders added.
Wilson will now fill out — and lead — a QB room consisting of the recently signed Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. That means New York’s dalliance with Aaron Rodgers has come to a conclusion and the now-former New York Jets quarterback is likely headed to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wilson, of course, is heading to New York by way of Pittsburgh, where he spent last season — also on a one-year contract.
The 36-year-old carved out a stellar decade’s worth of work with the Seattle Seahawks from 2010-2021, earning a Super Bowl win and nine Pro Bowl selections.
However, he’s now headed for his third team in as many seasons. Last year, after overcoming a calf injury sustained in the summer, Wilson started 11 games for the Steelers, coming on hot and finishing cold. He posted a 6-5 record as a starter with 225.6 yards passing per game, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions.
