Russell Wilson News
Tuesday, April 28, 7:45 PM
The New York Jets hosted veteran free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson for a visit and are considering him as an option to be Geno Smith's backup this year, a source told Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Wilson, 37, is nearing the end of his career after being benched in favor of first-rounder Jaxson Dart with the New York Giants last year. In his six games (three starts) for the G-Men in 2025, Wilson completed a career-low 58% of his passes for 831 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. The former third-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 2012 out of Wisconsin had a fantastic run in the NFL with 10 Pro Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl championship, but he is nearing the end of the line and is strictly QB depth at this point in his career. If he stays in New York and signs with the Jets for the 2026 season as a backup, Wilson won't even be on the radar in dynasty/superflex leagues.

Derek Carr News
Sunday, March 1, 10:10 AM
Vincent Bonsignore of the California Post reports that there's been "a lot of talk" at this weekend's NFL Draft combine in Indianapolis linking former quarterback Derek Carr to the Minnesota Vikings. Carr retired from the NFL after having his 2024 season cut short by a shoulder injury. However, Carr will turn just 35 years old this month, and there have been rumblings so far this offseason that he could return if the right opportunity opens up with a contender. Across 10 games as the starter for the New Orleans Saints before getting injured in 2024, Carr completed 67.7% of his pass attempts for 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Minnesota is known to be looking to bring in some veteran competition alongside 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy, who struggled in his first chance to be the team's QB1 this past season. Carr technically remains under contract with New Orleans, so the Saints would either have to release his rights or trade him to the Vikings if he is indeed looking to come out of retirement with Minnesota.
