The Russell Wilson saga has finally come to an end, with the veteran quarterback signing a one-year deal with the New York Giants. However, the offseason drama leading up to this decision was nothing short of fascinating.
Before joining the Giants, Wilson visited both New York and Cleveland, sparking rumors and speculation about his future. Cleveland’s star defensive end, Myles Garrett, even seemed to confirm that Wilson would sign with the Browns on the “Dawgs Podcast”. Garrett’s enthusiasm was palpable, stating he had an idea about the team’s QB1 and was excited about its potential.
The Browns’ interest in Wilson makes sense, given their struggles to find a reliable quarterback. Despite signing Deshaun Watson to a massive five-year, $230 million contract extension in 2022, the team has only managed 19 games with him in the last three seasons.
In a lighthearted twist, Garrett recently shared a photo of himself bathing his dog on Instagram, with Wilson making a virtual appearance on his story. The humorously referenced a viral video from 2018 where Wilson joked about his puppy’s diarrhea issues. This playful exchange suggests the banter between Wilson and Garrett is far from over.
The Browns’ quarterback situation remains uncertain, with Garrett’s comments on the “Dawgs Podcast” fueling speculation about Wilson’s potential signing. However, Wilson ultimately chose to sign with the Giants, leaving the Browns to continue their search for a reliable quarterback.
Russell Wilson’s offseason drama may be over, but the playful banter between him and Myles Garrett is expected to continue. The Browns, on the other hand, still have a long way to go in finding a reliable quarterback. With Wilson now in New York, the Giants are likely hoping he can bring some much-needed stability to their quarterback position. Only time will tell if this signing will pay off for both Wilson and the Giants.
