Giants Trade Jameis Winston To Vikings Amid Quarterback Shuffle

The New York Giants have revamped their quarterback roster for the 2025 season by bringing in veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, along with rookie Jaxson Dart, following struggles in previous seasons. While Wilson is set to start and Dart is viewed as the franchise's future, Jameis Winston is considered the likely third-string quarterback and a prime trade candidate due to the team's crowded quarterback room. Several teams, including the Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets, have been linked to potential trades for Winston, with the Vikings reportedly willing to offer a late-round 2026 draft pick for him to provide veteran depth behind rookie JJ McCarthy. The Jets, seeking a more experienced quarterback behind injury-prone Justin Fields, are also predicted to pursue Winston in a trade. Winston's performance as a backup has shown flashes of high-level play, making him an attractive option for teams needing immediate quarterback support. The Giants are expected to trade Winston to clear roster space while gaining a draft asset, as they prefer Dart to develop without the pressure of backup duties.
