Part 3/7:
The Giants are in a win-now situation; general manager Joe Shane and head coach Brian Dable are under pressure to demonstrate progress to ownership during the upcoming season. With a challenging schedule ahead, starting a rookie quarterback was not deemed a viable option. Wilson brings Super Bowl experience and the potential to secure victories, alleviating the immediate need for a rookie quarterback to take the reins.
Additionally, Wilson’s signing complements the addition of Jameis Winston, further solidifying the quarterback room. With Wilson and Winston on the roster, the Giants can afford to develop a younger quarterback without the urgency to start them right away. This allows the team to remain competitive while also preparing for the future.
