The New York Giants have made the move to benching Russell Wilson for Jaxson Dart, as the team has not performed up to their standards in the first three weeks of the season. Wilson signed with the team in the offseason with the expectation that he would be the starter, and now, he will back up the Giants’ rookie.
The move left some wondering what that means for Wilson’s future with the team, and he will ask for a release or a trade. After his media availability following the news of his benching, it’s safe to say he’s happy where he is.
“I’m focused on helping this team win. I’m focused on helping Jaxson,” Wilson said to the media. “I’m focused on getting ready to be the best version of me today. I want to be here, I love this organization, and I love the process of it all. I love the guys in the locker room. I’m not giving up on us or this season. I don’t know any other thought than finding a way through.

“I’m not discouraged about this football team. I’m not discouraged about myself.”
