Explore the latest developments concerning Giants’ Asking Price.
Giants’ Asking Price for QB Russell Wilson Revealed
After being benched for rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart after just three games, New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson’s future remains up in the air.
According to some reporters, the Giants have no intention of trading the 36-year-old 10-time Pro Bowler, but some team and league insiders say otherwise.
Quarterback is arguably the Giants’ most stacked position. Not only do they have Wilson and Dart, who threw for 111 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another 54 yards and an additional score in New York’s first win of the season against the Chargers in Week 4, but they also have Jameis Winston, who has 87 games of NFL starting experience behind them both.
Russell Wilson trade rumors: Giants’ backup QB available, but not actively shopped
Second report in a week indicates the Giants are open to a trade … if someone calls
The New York Giants are willing to trade veteran backup quarterback Russell Wilson. They just are not picking up the phone and asking teams directly if they have interest in Wilson, deposed as the Giants starter by rookie Jaxson Dart.
This seems to be the crux of current reporting on the topic, most recently from Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.
The Giants have not actively shopped Wilson since benching him in Week 4, sources say, but the league at large understands he could be dealt. The acquiring team would owe Wilson only the prorated portion of his $2 million base salary while giving up what sources believe would be a Day 3 draft pick.

Bengals QB trade idea is cheap, yet could salvage season instantly
Those Bengals could trade for big names, too, with guys like Kirk Cousins, Jameis Winston and especially Russell Wilson seemingly available ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
For Sports Illustrated’s Matt Verderame, the route for Zac Taylor and the Bengals is throwing out a conditional fifth-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for Cousins:
“So it’s time to cut ties with the highly expensive backup quarterback. Might as well get a Day 3 pick for Cousins, who’s already received most of the money on the four-year, $180 million deal he signed in Atlanta last year.”
