The No. 3 overall pick in the NFL draft is a crucial position that can shape the future of a team. To secure this spot, the New York Giants made a bold move by signing veteran quarterback Russell Wilson.
The Giants signed QB Russell Wilson to a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed. At 36, Wilson chose the Giants over teams like the Browns and Steelers, marking his fourth team in five years.
With the team currently struggling with quarterback stability, he will surely bring valuable experience and leadership. Plus, by signing the 10-time Pro Bowler, the Giants are still in a great position to draft a young quarterback with their No. 3 pick.
