After releasing failed former top-10 draft pick Daniel Jones, Giants general manager Joe Schoen went out and signed former Super Bowl winner Wilson, 36, to a one-year, $10.5 million contract to be the presumed starter under center in New York.

The New York Giants say Russell Wilson will be their starting QB in 2025 ahead of Jameis Winston, while rookie Jaxson Dart will sit and learn.

Speaking after Round 1 of the draft, Schoen and Daboll made it clear that Russell Wilson is the starter entering the next phase of New York's offseason program, leaving a couple of hurdles for Dart to leap to earn the starter spot.
