Fourth-year head coach Brian Daboll already benched the Super Bowl XLVIII champion, ending his stint as the veteran bridge quarterback much sooner than he hoped. As long as Jaxson Dart is healthy, Wilson will likely not throw a pass for the Giants. Therefore, the optimal outcome is to send him elsewhere.
The New York Giants have fully embraced the Jaxson Dart era, benching veteran quarterback and former Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson in favor of the promising rookie after Week 3 of the NFL season. Wilson, now relegated to the backup role, has handled the transition with notable grace and professionalism.
Russell Wilson’s first season with the New York Giants has not gone according to plan. After losing the first three games with his new team, Wilson was benched in favor of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has made waves as the Giants’ new QB1.
The New York quarterback may not be playing much, but his recording artist wife just created a season highlight.
