Russell Wilson to the New York Giants almost happened a year ago. Now, it's reality -- and this time Wilson is the team's projected starting quarterback.
Wilson visited the Giants just over a year ago. At the time, the Giants had starter Daniel Jones and wouldn't offer Wilson anything more than the backup job. Wilson ended up signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jones is long gone (released last season) and Wilson, 36, is a year older. But he's the Giants' guy now after their search for a veteran option in free agency landed on him and Jameis Winston, the rare veteran free agent double dip.
