The 2025 NFL season doesn’t lack for storylines, but one of the more interesting ones to watch will be whether or not Russell Wilson can make the Giants competitive again.

The Giants’ roster has been mediocre at best for several years now, but a loaded pass rush unit and a star wide receiver might be the start of a turnaround. 

But all these years later, New York is still searching for a successor to Eli Manning. After too many years of Daniel Jones, can Wilson stabilize the Giants in the short term?

To start, the soon-to-be-37-year-old will have to beat out Jameis Winston and rookie first-round pick Jaxon Dart. 

Regardless of who is under center, the New York Giants’ odds market says all you need to know: They’re dead last in the NFC table.
