Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson just finished his 14th NFL season, appearing in six games through his first campaign with the New York Giants.
Wilson spent the majority of the year as the Giants’ third-string option behind Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston, but began the year as the team’s starter for its first three games. New York went 0-3 in those games as he completed 58.0% of his pass attempts for 831 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
Now, the 37-year-old signal caller is in search of his next NFL landing spot when he becomes a free agent in March.
For the first time in his NFL career, Wilson will be represented by a new agent.
Wilson had been represented by Mark Rodgers since he entered the league as the Seattle Seahawks’ No. 75 overall pick in the 2012 draft. But in preparation for his upcoming free agency, the 10-time NFL Pro Bowler has switched representation to David Mulugheta of Athletes First.

Wilson fully intends on playing again in 2026. He feels his Week 2 performance against the Dallas Cowboys proves he still has what it takes to perform at a high level.
In that 40-37 overtime loss on Sep. 14, Wilson completed 30 of his 41 pass attempts for 450 yards, three touchdowns and one interceptions.
“Yeah, I’m not blinking,” Wilson said. “I know what I’m capable of. I think I showed that in Dallas. I want to do that again and just be ready to rock and roll and be as healthy as possible and be able to play ball.”

Wilson said he’s open to a role as both a starter or a backup next NFL season.
“My hope is just to have the ball in my hands and help a team win,” Wilson said. “Try to do everything I can to help an organization get to the finish line. That is my focus.
“My love for the game and what I know I’m capable of when I’m healthy and can move the way I know I can move and do all that stuff, I know what I’m capable of. I’m just excited. Focusing on the next several weeks. I have my game plan together, know what I’m going to do to get ready and mentally train, physically train and all those things. I got great confidence.”
