Thought Russell Wilson was over? Here we are with a staggering $21 million deal with Brian Daboll’s team. The Super Bowl champion and the New York Giants caught everyone off guard with a surprising deal. After acquiring Jameis Winston, the Giants planned to wait for another QB until the 2025 NFL Draft at Lambeau Field. But you know what? There’s one more surprise related to Wilson for the upcoming season.

In a recently released report, the Giants revealed which teams they will play against at home and away. And it looks like the former Denver Broncos quarterback will have to face his old team. However, the league has not yet revealed the dates. For home games, the Giants will play the Dallas Cowboys, Eagles, Commanders, Packers, Chiefs, Chargers, Vikings, and 49ers.

But if you check the away games, the Denver Broncos matchup is right there. Wilson, with the Steelers in 2024, had a chance to go head-to-head with the Broncos on September 16, 2024. But he was not in the picture that day. The starting QB played his first game of the 2024 season on October 21 against the New York Jets. And why did Russ miss against his former team?

According to many sources, he had calf tightness and soreness, which was cited as the official reason for his absence. However, many NFL fans are highly skeptical about this explanation and believe there was more to the story. Some even speculate that Wilson intentionally avoided playing against his former team to escape the pressure and scrutiny that would have inevitably come with the matchup.

Fans’ comments about Russell Wilson’s 2025-26 season are hilarious, especially as they eagerly anticipate him facing his former team, the Denver Broncos, in what promises to be a highly anticipated showdown.

Fans predict Russell Wilson’s move when the Giants face the Broncos in 2025

As already mentioned, the dates for the 2025 NFL season haven’t been revealed yet, but Wilson will face the Broncos at least once, for sure. And a fan rightly commented on X, “He ducked us last year. He better not duck us again 🤣 would hate for Jameis to have another multiple pick-6 game.” Last year, Jameis Winston was playing for the Browns, and in the December 2 game against the Broncos, he had two pick 6s that led to the Browns’ defeat. That fan trolled Russ and Winston at once.

Back to what fans commented—another fan simply predicted what will happen in the Broncos-Giants game. Saying, “Russ gonna 🦆 Denver again.” Another fan ignored his calf injury last year and posted, “Russ going to sit out again.” Another one just reiterated what the previous comment. He posted: “Lol, he will dodge just like last year 😂.”

But another fan’s comment, “He won’t play here—he’s scarwed!” described the unwritten expectation that Russell will dodge the upcoming game in the 2025 season as well.

Well, if he really used an injury to skip the game last year, this time, NFL fans won’t let him dodge the Broncos game without unleashing heavy backlash if he tries it again. The season will start on September 6, so let’s see if Russell Wilson will play against Sean Payton‘s team or not.
