Giants Face QB Competition as Wilson Job Security Wanes

Russell Wilson, the former Seattle Seahawks star now with the New York Giants, is expected to start the 2025 season as the team's quarterback, though his long-term role is uncertain due to the Giants' first-round draft pick, Jaxson Dart. NFL insiders and analysts, including Daniel Jeremiah and Mark Schlereth, believe Dart has the potential to play early and may eventually replace Wilson, especially if the Giants struggle this season. The Giants are also bolstering their receiving corps by potentially adding veteran Keenan Allen to support Wilson and provide competition, aiming to improve their offense amid pressure on head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen to deliver wins. While Wilson and fellow veteran Jameis Winston share leadership roles in the quarterback room, the team remains focused on developing Dart, who could complicate the quarterback competition if he outperforms the veterans during training camp and preseason. Despite calls to cut Wilson, the Giants value his veteran presence and the one-year, $10.5 million contract he signed, balancing immediate performance with long-term development of Dart.
