Russell Wilson Will Be Giants Starting Quarterback

Friday, April 25, 12:08 AM

After trading up back into the first round of the 2025 NFL draft on Thursday night to select Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll made it clear in his press conference that veteran Russell Wilson will be the starting QB, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "He can come in, sit behind a couple veteran quarterbacks and learn," Daboll said. In addition to Wilson, the G-Men signed former first-rounder Jameis Winston to bolster their QB room heading into 2025. Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen are both firmly on the hot seat, but at least the Giants now have their QB of the future if things go poorly again this fall. Wilson, 36, initially gave Pittsburgh's offense a spark in 2024 but looked over the hill down the stretch. He could develop a nice chemistry with WR1 Malik Nabers, but Wilson will have to play well to hold off Winston and Dart.

Tyler Shough Now In Line To Start For Saints?

Saturday, May 10, 1:01 PM

Now that quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) has announced his retirement, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport writes that it sets the stage for rookie second-round quarterback Tyler Shough to be the team's eventual starter in 2025. Shough's stock for his rookie campaign was already rising with Carr's availability in question for 2025 due to a shoulder injury, but now Carr is out of the picture completely. The 25-year-old Shough will be competing primarily with Spencer Rattler, who completed just 57% of his passes while throwing four touchdowns and five interceptions in his rookie season in 2024. Even if the Saints give Shough a little more time to develop and name Rattler the starter for Week 1, it seems likely that Shough will be starting games in the Big Easy sooner than later in 2025. Shough is old for a rookie and has plenty of experience, making him the current favorite over Rattler for QB1 duties.
