The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants are still trying to formulate their quarterback plans for the 2025 season. Right now, the Browns’ presumed starter is former first-round pick Kenny Pickett, who they traded for earlier this week.
As for the Giants, it’s wide open, but former undrafted free agent Tommy DeVito is the leading candidate by default. Neither options are ideal and now both franchises are considering other options, including a former Super Bowl winner.

Russell Wilson visiting Cleveland Browns and New York Giants
With the start of the new NFL year kicking off earlier today, the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants aren’t wasting any time.
According to The Athletic’s NFL insider Dianna Russini, the Browns and Giants are set to host 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson for a visit later this week. Wilson will visit the Browns first, on Thursday, before taking a trip to New York for the Giants’ visit on Friday.
The 36-year-old Wilson is coming off a 6-5 season with the Steelers in which he led them to the playoffs and a quick elimination in the Wild Card round. Yet, while Pittsburgh is seemingly open to bringing the former Super Bowl winner back to town, they’re currently waiting to hear back from four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.
Wilson doesn’t need to go on a visit to Pittsburgh to know what they offer, but taking a trip to Cleveland and New York not only provides leverage during contract negotiations, but it gives him a chance to see what else is out there.
