The New York Giants’ Russell Wilson era is over after just three games. The team is off to a 0-3 start to the 2025 campaign and is already prepared to turn to rookie Jaxson Dart, putting a screeching halt to Wilson’s 14th season. His time in The Big Apple might be over, but the former All-Pro showed that he still has a lot left in the tank that teams should value.
Since the team confirmed that Dart would start in Week 4, Wilson has openly declared that he is “not done” with his career. The results have not been there where it matters, but he certainly has proven that he is still a starting-caliber player. Through three games, Wilson is the league’s third-leading passer with 778 passing yards.
At this point in his career, Wilson is no longer the MVP candidate that he once was. That much is clear. His 2025 season has been nothing short of a tumultuous roller coaster ride, with two subpar performances sandwiching one superb outing. That might not be good enough for a rebuilding team with a head coach on the hot seat and a first-round pick sitting on the bench, but Wilson is more than capable of leading other struggling organizations, even in a short-term capacity.
At 36, Wilson certainly does not want to waste any time with what he has left in his career. He has yet to request a trade or release, but that outcome would not be the least bit surprising.
Even if he does not initiate movement on his end, Joe Schoen should still be receiving calls from rival general managers. The season is still young, but a few teams are already in crisis mode. They need to immediately capitalize on a player like Wilson if they wish to salvage what they can.
This one is obvious. Joe Burrow remains out for at least a few more weeks, and the Jake Browning experience needs to end. It has only been one game, but the Cincinnati Bengals should already be sounding alarm bells.
In just two games, Browning is already leading the league with five interceptions. He threw three against the Jacksonville Jaguars and two against the Minnesota Vikings to average a horrific 2.5 turnovers per game thus far. Some positive regression is surely in store, but with Browning under center, Cincinnati is looking like the worst offense in the league.
The Bengals need to think bigger than just riding it out with QB2 Jake Browning.
Yes, he’s been solid in relief before.
But with Joe Burrow expected to miss three months, Cincinnati can’t afford to let this season slip away.

Russell Wilson has already thrown three interceptions, and none have been pretty. Turnovers and decision making are what ultimately led to his downfal with the Giants, but Wilson has...
