Giants Playing Start, Bench, Cut In Real Life

The New York Giants are playing a multi-million dollar game of start, bench, cut. 

Yesterday, New York named Jaxson Dart as the starter not even 10 days after Russell Wilson threw for over 400 yards against the Cowboys. Wilson, who is in a stop-gap year, came to New Jersey to be a bridge quarterback until Jaxson Dart was ready to take over. After three games, the Giants sit 0-3 and have now slotted the rookie into the starting role as Wilson gets moved to backup.

Jaxson Dart has gotten playing time this season in the form of RPO’s that New York has run. Overall, Dart impressed in the preseason, completing 32 of 47 passes for 372 yards and 3 touchdowns. Dart is immediately being thrown into the fire as he will face the 3-0 Chargers for Week 4, the 3-0 Eagles twice and the mighty defense of the Denver Broncos all within his next four out of five games – if he is still even breathing by Week 7.

With the benching of Russell Wilson the Giants are now faced with a very tradable circumstance. Wilson is only on a one-year contract, meanwhile Dart is clearly the future of the franchise and QB3 Jameis Winston is a premium backup who is in year one of a two-year contract.

The Giants could trade Russell Wilson to a QB needy team such as the Bengals and have Jameis Winston slot into QB2 and remain New York’s second option throughout the end of the 2026-27 season. Frankly to put it blunt, the Giants no longer have use for Russell Wilson and with that they can gain either draft picks / players back in a trade.

The New York Giants take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, September 28th, for a 1:00 p.m. kickoff to mark the end to September football.
