Giants QB Russell Wilson expected to emerge as trade candidate following benching
Russell Wilson said all of the right things the day after he was benched for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, a player the New York Giants believe is their franchise QB.
Wilson declined to ask for his release. He told reporters this past Wednesday that he would serve as a mentor for Dart, saying, "I know that I'm going to respond in the right way every day."
Wilson is expected to emerge as a trade candidate prior to the deadline on Nov. 4, the target of a QB-needy team in need of a veteran, according to sources around the league.
Wilson joins Atlanta Falcons backup Kirk Cousins as the top quarterback options potentially available if a team needs a long-term starter as quarterback injuries do happen.

How will the Giants' offense run with Jaxson Dart under center?
Dan Orlovsky breaks down what's at stake for Jaxson Dart and Brian Daboll at the New York Giants. (1:20)
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — It was as if there were two different versions of the New York Giants' offense this summer and at training camp. One that Russell Wilson and the first-team offense ran and the other that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart operated with the second team.
In reality, the plays weren't all that different, in fact, mostly the same. Yet, the on-field product looked vastly different when Dart was behind center.
Dart, the 25th pick in this year's draft, has better physical skills than the 36-year-old Wilson is at this point of his career. Nobody is going to argue against that. He also brings a youthful exuberance that was part of why he won over coach Brian Daboll during the predraft process.
