Alexa, play “Welcome to New York” by Taylor Swift because Ciara and Russell Wilson are in the building. The power couple is ready to start a new chapter in the city that brings back lots of memories. Notably, Wilson’s championship performance in 2014. Now, as they settle into their new home, they are not shying away from sharing their excitement on social media. Naturally, it is fair to assume that we’ll be seeing more of them around New York City.
On March 25, Wilson signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants worth up to $21 million, which includes $10.5 million guaranteed. “New York State of Mind!” Ciara posted on her Instagram story with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ Empire State of Mind soundtrack, shortly after the news went public. Wilson’s ultimate fan girl begins her celebration by sharing with a token her gratitude. The singer wrote a comment: “Grateful for the journey” on the NFL’s IG post, which showcased Wilson’s career with the Steelers, Broncos, Seahawks, and now the Giants.

Since they got married in 2016, Ciara has been the ultimate hype woman, right from Wilson’s Seahawks days. Soon after Wilson broke the news, she immediately reposted his IG Story featuring a throwback to Super Bowl XLVIII. After all, Wilson won his first Super Bowl at the MetLife Stadium with the Seahawks back in 2014. The Giants deal is the second time Wilson has signed a one-year contract with a team. He had a similar tenure with the Steelers last season.
Wilson has stepped into a franchise that has long searched for stability at quarterback. Since Eli Manning’s departure in 2019, the Giants have cycled through multiple signal-callers, struggling to find a true leader under center. Wilson, a proven winner and 10-time Pro Bowler, is expected to provide just that. His arrival signals a culture shift, one that Giants fans hope will put an end to years of inconsistency. And with Ciara already embracing the city, the Wilsons are ready to take on New York in style.
The couple is set for the New York lifestyle, recently spotted during a Knicks game. As he prepares to suit up in Giants blue, fans will be watching closely. Meanwhile, Ciara looks ready to embrace her new role as the team’s biggest supporter—and we love to see it.
‘I expect to be the starter,’ Wilson’s giant reveal
In his first press conference as a Giant, the 10-time Pro Bowler made his intentions clear—he expects to lead. “I expect to be the starter and come in here ready to rock and roll every day,” Wilson said during the press conference on Wednesday.

Wilson joins a QB room featuring Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito, but make no mistake—this is his team to command. “You’ve got to lead, I think this team is looking for someone to lead them in every way…” Wilson added later during the interview, which reflects the confidence and experience of a veteran who’s been here before.
The Giants hold the No. 3 overall pick in April’s draft, a spot that could land them a top quarterback prospect. Wilson remains unfazed. His focus?

“It’s my 14th year to be able to lead… I think that’s the best part of it is, I get to be around a lot of extremely talented guys.” Wilson started 11 games for the Steelers, posting a 6-5 record as a starter with 225.6 yards passing per game, 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions. It wasn’t exactly the perfect finish for Wilson. The Steelers dropped from the playoffs after losing the wild card round against the Baltimore Ravens. So, Wilson can bring his star starter kit that the Giants want, right?
Bringing leadership, culture, and a winning mentality to a franchise that hasn’t seen consistency under center in years. Wilson believes he’s that guy who can bring that change. New York will soon find out.
