The New York Giants reached agreement with Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson on a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed.
The 10-time Pro Bowl selection had been in discussions with the Giants, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, but is opting for New York, where he won Super Bowl XLVIII in MetLife Stadium as a member of the Seattle Seahawks.

The agreement between Wilson and the Giants eliminates New York as a potential option this season for Aaron Rodgers.
It also leaves Rodgers and the Steelers — Wilson’s former team — in a position to work out their own agreement, if the quarterback decides he wants to play this season.
