Just like all things in life, the NY Giants are finally doing what they need to do. Sorting out the quarterback position. They are putting a simple life formula into perspective. Solve the biggest problem, and smaller ones will take care of themselves. In the sport of football, it’s the signal caller. When Daniel Jones quit them, they finished 30th in the league. Now, as they gear up for the 2025 season, the Giants have surprised all with their choice. It’s not Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers or Joe Flacco. But a younger one!

On Thursday, The Athletic’s Diana Russini claimed that the Giants will choose one between Wilson or Flacco. But that didn’t happen. According to FOX’s Jordan Schultz, the franchise has reached a 2 year, $8 million agreement with ex-Browns QB Jameis Winston. Moreover, they made the incentives more lucrative, with a $16 million tag.

Interestingly, in Feb, Winston traveled to New Orleans, and took up a special job as a reporter to cover the event. As expected, he wanted to play in the league. And now, his wish has been granted. Winston visited the facility a few days back. Most probably he managed to ink this deal. Undoubtedly, as a backup, he is a much better and reliable option than Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson.

The reason? It’s simple, the age factor! A-rod is 41, Russ is 36, and Winston is only 31. In the league where athleticism matters, that’s a huge difference. And he also showed with his performance last season that he can carry the O-line. In the week 13 matchup against the Broncos, he recorded 497 passing yards. That’s some Midas touch right there.

Amid this revelation, everyone is now waiting for the next moves of the 4-times MVP, A-rod. He has kept silent, something he is not known for.

What’s your perspective on:

Did the Giants make the right call with Winston over seasoned vets like Rodgers and Wilson?

Aaron Rodgers on his way to the Black and the Gold

When the 2024 season ended, the Steelers had depth in their QB position. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields were the ideal candidates to become a starter. But 10 days after the free agency, the situation has flipped. Completely! Fields has switched allegiance to the NY Jets, while the Steelers are looking to replace Russ with A-Rod.

NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that A-rod also visited the Steelers, meeting with HC Mike Tomlin. He spent 6 hours in the building meeting with other coaches. The offensive coordinator Arthur Smith was also there. So, things look promising on that end as well. But there is no clarity yet.

Aaron Rodgers has kept silent on his intentions for the 2025 season. The last known solid update about his career was when he admitted that the 2024 season could be his last. However, the reports revealed that he pleaded with the Jets’ front office to stay. But they did not listen. Since then, he has been associated with teams like the Vikings. The QB is quiet about his plan.

One thing is for sure: if he joins the Steelers, it won’t be without huge responsibilities. In December of last year, the signal-caller praised Tomlin, saying, “There’s only one Mike Tomlin. He’s got special sauce.” Now, with the 2025 draft just a month away, the Steelers are content to wait for the veteran to clarify his expectations. Fans are going crazy with each update, eager to see how the team will look in its most lethal form.
