Giants Sign Russell Wilson, Add Star Pass Rushers for 2025

The New York Giants are entering the 2025 NFL season with significant changes on both offense and defense, aiming to improve upon their previous 3-14 record. Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, despite being past his prime, is expected to lead the offense as the starter, bringing deep passing ability and experience to a previously struggling unit. Defensively, the Giants are bolstered by the addition of rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter, selected third overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, who has drawn comparisons to Micah Parsons and is seen as a potential game-changer alongside established pass rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux, Brian Burns, and Dexter Lawrence. This elite pass-rushing trio could become one of the NFL's best, with the Giants possibly surpassing 50 sacks in the season if their defensive line performs as expected. While trade rumors have surrounded Thibodeaux, the Giants have exercised his fifth-year option, indicating they may keep the group intact to replicate past Super Bowl-winning defensive formulas. Additionally, new defensive additions like cornerback Paulson Adebo and safety Jevon Holland, as well as the evolving secondary, contribute to a more balanced team outlook for 2025.
