Russell Wilson joined the New York Giants with every intention of being under center when the regular season begins.
The 36-year-old quarterback signed his one-year contract with the Giants on Wednesday, a day after agreeing to terms on the deal with what is his third team in as many years and fourth in five years.
A person with knowledge of the contract told The Associated Press it's worth up to $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team didn't announce financial terms.
During an introductory Zoom call with reporters, Wilson said he expects to be the Giants' starting quarterback and looks forward to being able to lead the team.
