Wilson has worn No. 3 throughout his entire career but that number already belonged to cornerback Deonte Banks.</p><p>On Wednesday, Banks <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1907499945487126948" rel="noopener">officially switched his jersey number</a>, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Banks will wear No. 2 to allow Wilson to wear No. 3 like he has his entire career.</p><p>“Giants CB Deonte Banks has switched to No. 2, allowing new QB Russell Wilson to continue to wear No. 3.”</p><p>Shortly after the news broke, Russell Wilson <a href="https://x.com/DangeRussWilson/status/1907497408189104374" rel="noopener">shared a thank you post</a> to Deonte Banks on x, formerly known as Twitter. After thanking Banks, the 36-year-old quarterback shared two praying hands emojis and tagged the Giants.</p><p>“Salute to my guy [and] young star Tae Banks! Grateful for you letting me wear #3 King! Full of gratitude.”</p><p>The Giants struggled much throughout the 2024 season finishing the campaign with a 3-14 record. Quarterback woes prevented the offense from gaining any traction, as head coach Brian Daboll started three different quarterbacks and played four total. As a result, the franchise owns the No. 3 pick overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.</p><p>There is some speculation that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-rumors-cam-ward-love-wont-be-enough-to-get-him">Giants will select a quarterback</a> in the first round despite signing both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston through free agency. Both veteran quarterbacks played in 11 or more games for their respective teams.</p><p>Playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Wilson ended the 2024 season with 2,482 passing yards, 16 passing touchdowns, and five interceptions while recording a 63.7% completion percentage. Meanwhile, Winston stepped into the Cleveland Browns starting role after Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending injury. The 31-year-old quarterback finished the season with 2,121 passing yards, 13 passing touchdowns, and 12 interceptions while throwing a 61.1% completion percentage.</p><p>It’s not entirely clear who will be the starting quarterback for the Giants. At the very least, the franchise found immediate options in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. However, the organization may want to consider finding a long-term solution sooner, rather than later.</p><p>Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward is highly expected to be the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. If that’s who the Giants want, they’ll likely have to trade up to that pick with the Tennessee Titans. If not, there’s a chance Colorado Buffaloes star Shedeur Sanders is available at No. 3, assuming the Browns pass on him with the No. 2 pick overall.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His career record of 36-51 doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Also, the memory of that infamous 33-touchdown, 30-interception season still hangs around despite almost six years of aging.</p><p>However, having Winston and Wilson means the Giants hold a pair of veterans in case the draft doesn’t go the way they want it to go. General manager Joe Schoen said the <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44478507/giants-force-qb-selection-no-3-gm-joe-schoen-says" rel="noopener">team won’t force</a> a draft pick at No. 3 overall, according to espn.com.</p><p>“We’re in a position where we can take who we think is the best football player at that time,” Schoen said. “If it matches up. If the value is right. We can look at many positions and take a guy.”</p><p>Schoen said getting a quarterback with that high pick would have to fit like a glove.</p><p>“Yeah, if you’re talking about where we’re picking, you’d like that guy to be able to be a franchise quarterback that you can win with, you’re winning the NFC East every year,” Schoen said. “The ultimate goal is to win a Super Bowl if you’re taking a guy that high, so they have to be able to check (all) those boxes.”</p><p>The Giants signed Wilson and Winston for under $15 million this season, which leaves the door open to draft a quarterback. The Giants made it known to Wilson that was a possibility, according to ESPN.</p><p>“I didn’t tell him what we’re going to do at (pick No. 3), but I said we’re open to everything,” Schoen said. “So yeah, you can’t give a promise that you’re not going to take a certain position or something like that. That’s not fair. We can go any which direction. We can go play a game right now.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Raiders already have their quarterback after trading for Geno Smith, and some of the top options at the position will probably be gone by the time they pick. One team that everyone is looking at is the New York Giants, and even though they signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, some think that drafting a quarterback <a href="https://x.com/art_stapleton/status/1906695458400911396" rel="noopener">could be in their plans</a> with the No. 3 pick.</p><p>“In talking about what he feels Russell Wilson will bring to the Giants, Pete Carroll – unprompted – also mentioned NYG bringing a rookie QB into that room. Tells you what the Raiders, picking three spots behind the Giants in 1st, and the rest of the league are thinking,” Giants reporter Art Stapleton wrote on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>The Giants have a lot of ways they can go with the pick, but it will also depend on who is there when it’s time to select. Cam Ward seems like a lock for the Tennessee Titans, and there has been a growing sense that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/browns-rumors-why-mel-kiper-picks-abdul-carter-travis-hunter-mock-draft">Abdul Carter will be the pick</a> for the Cleveland Browns.</p><p>It wouldn’t be a surprise if the Giants went with Shedeur Sanders so they can have their quarterback of the future, but if they’re in the mindset of winning now, picking someone like Travis Hunter wouldn’t be a bad decision.</p><p>If the Giants don’t draft Sanders, it would make sense for the Raiders to possibly look to select him, especially with the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars already having their quarterbacks of the future. It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out, and as of now, it’s looking like the draft will start when the Giants are on the clock.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, there’s a big reason as to why. According to general manager Joe Schoen, he stated that he will <a href="https://x.com/NYPost_Schwartz/status/1906714129059992022" rel="noopener">start getting first-team reps</a> with the starting offense when the players arrive in a few weeks for the offseason workout program.</p><p>The report came from Paul Schwartz of The New York Post. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise, considering that Wilson was the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season.</p><p>Although he battled a lingering calf issue, once Wilson came back, the job was his. At the beginning, it was quite literally sunshine and rainbows. The Steelers’ offense was clicking and firing on all cylinders until it wasn’t.</p><p>Despite the underwhelming end to the season, the Giants have been needing a quarterback for quite some time. After all, they released Daniel Jones midway through the season.</p><p>Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito were serviceable to them, but nothing of everlasting value. Fast forward to March and this is where Wilson comes in.</p><p>Although the Giants might’ve made a win-now move with Wilson, it bring a sense of maturity and professionalism into the team. However, there’s another question that possesses the team.</p><h2><b>Will Russell Wilson remain the Giants starter?</b></h2><p>The season hasn’t even begun, so it’s hard to say. However, New York has the third overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Although the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-rumors-shedeur-sanders-love-worst-kept-secret-nfl">Giants have been set on Shedeur Sanders</a>, he might not be there when the pick comes.</p><p>However, Travis Hunter is a name that has been circulating around the organization. He’s the most dynamic and versatile player in the draft class.</p><p>He’s shown an elite ability as a receiver and a defensive back. As a result, Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Trophy and became the first defensive back to do so since Charles Woodson in 1997.</p><p>Regardless of whoever they draft, they have their quarterback room figured out. At least, they have their starter figured out. Wilson is the <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/new-giants-qb-russell-wilson-i-expect-to-be-the-starter" rel="noopener">epitome of consistent</a>, even if he hasn’t shown his MVP level in the previous seasons.</p><p>At the end of the day though, Schoen remains optimistic about what Wilson can provide to the team. The consistency is something that Giants fans have been yearning for.</p><p>Even if the end result isn’t what they want, Wilson can provide a glimpse into consistency and how they can win. The effects might not be immediate, but they could be everlasting.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
