The New York Giants sign Russell Wilson to a 1-year deal worth up to $21 million.
The New York Giants are taking a patchwork approach to the quarterback position this offseason. After signing Jameis Winston to a 2-year $8 million deal, the Giants have now signed Russell Wilson to a 1-year deal worth up to $21 million.
Based on the contract, the 10-time Pro Bowler will have an edge on Jameis Winston for starter status. The question now becomes, do the Giants select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft a month from now?
The move indicates that the Giants are unsure of whether or not their preferred quarterback will be available for their number 3 overall pick. The early favorites for the first 2 selections in the draft are quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders. While Jaxson Dart has gained 1st round draft buzz, the Giants may be inclined to avoid taking Dart by choosing a player at another position or trading back in the draft. In the meantime, the cork is going back in the bottles being popped from the Jameis Winston signing as it relates to Malik Nabers proverbial trip to the moon.

The New Orleans Saints are expected to have many of their ...
Former Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is one of the top ...
The Browns sign Carter to a 1-year deal.
The Cleveland Browns have added depth by signing DeAndre Carter. Carter offers services as a receiver and a returner.
The 10-year veteran has averaged 9.7 yards on 149 punt returns as well as averaged 23.5 yards on 133 kickoff returns. This versatility will help ensure Carter makes the team. Carter’s career high 46 receptions came with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2022.
While there is no expectation that Carter will be atop the wide receiver depth chart in Cleveland, this is a good move overall for the team due to his special teams contributions. Whether he has 9 receptions like he did in 2024 or 4 the year prior, the main intrigue in Cleveland will be who is throwing the football. The top options that are expected to be available after the hypothetical Cam Ward selection at No.1 overall are currently Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart from Ole Miss.

Ole Miss Quarterback Jaxson Dart stood out amongst relatively weak QB competition, he potentially solidified his place as a first round pick.
The NFL combine is not necessarily the most predictable measure of future QB success, it’s such a hard position to evaluate consistently — by online analysts and NFL franchise managers as well. At best, a solid outing at a combine can provide enough confirmation bias for a QB needy franchise to pull the trigger on their favorite prospect with a high pick, which is potentially at play here for Jaxson Dart.
Dart looked like one of the better throwers at the combine throughout all drills, he demonstrated good placement with smooth short and intermediate throws and had one of the best long balls in Indy this past weekend. While he didn’t run a 40, he was clocked at 58 miles per hour on the throwing velocity test, which would tie him with Jared Goff for 3rd in the NFL behind only Josh Allen (62) and Baker Mayfield (59). Dart looked poised on the field and in interviews, and he may be poised to keep climbing up those NFL big boards. What a great year for Dart to declare — there are no franchise-defining QB’s going into this draft, free agents are coming off the board by the week, and 5 teams picking in the top 10 need a solution at the position this offseason. The perfect storm is brewing for Dart to end up as a top 10 pick this year.

Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart Flashed both arm strength and mobility in Mobile.
Jaxson Dart, formerly of Ole Miss, displayed qualities that NFL teams will be looking for come April. Dart connected with Jack Bech on a flea flicker for 39 yards. Later in the drive, Dart ran up the middle for a TD after the pocket collapsed, displaying awareness and mobility.
Dart led all qualified QBs in PFF Pass grade in 2024 at 91.6, throwing 25 TDs and only 6 INTs. Not only was Dart accurate, he also led all QBs in his class with 10.6 yards per attempt. His 68.4-percent completion ranked no. 8 and his 584 rush yards ranked no. 10 in the class of 2025.
Dart’s stock has steadily risen over the last few months. As a result of his Reese’s Senior Bowl performance, Dart is now mocked inside the Top-50 overall. With many QB-needy teams entering the 2025 season, Dart might see a continued rise, akin to that of Bo Nix. Dart is worth targeting in the 2nd round of SuperFlex rookie drafts– but should be a 1st round dynasty rookie pick if he gets a top-30 selection come April.

Ole Miss Quarterback Jaxson Dart declared for the NFL Draft after 4 years of college ball.
In a class with no consensus #1 Quarterback, and really no locked-in top 5, Jaxson Dart could rocket up draft boards come April. The 4th year Senior put together a very impressive campaign for Ole Miss this year: he finished 3rd in pass yards (4,279) and 10th in touchdowns (29), he had an impressive completion percentage (69), and ended the year with the highest passer rating in the college game (180.7). Dart also displayed cheeky rushing upside, adding 495 yards and 3 scores on the ground
Oddly enough, at this stage in the draft process Jaxson Dart isn’t being talked about as an early pick — that could change with an impressive Senior Bowl appearance this week. With how crucial the QB position is and how many teams still need a solution, don’t be surprised if Dart ends up in the 1st round. Any of the Raiders, Jets or Saints could use a top 10 pick on him, but should he fall to the later rounds the Seahawks at 18, Steelers at 21, or Rams with pick 26 are all in play.
