Russell Wilson is facing a pivotal decision for his NFL career after meeting with the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns this week. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback was seen at JFK Airport on Friday after his visits to both organizations to explore his options for the upcoming season.
The 36-year-old Wilson, who most recently played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, kept his cards close to his chest about his future. Despite heavy media inquiries, Wilson gave no indication of which team he’s leaning toward, although he had discussions with several key figures at each facility.
In Cleveland, Wilson even chatted with Myles Garrett, the franchise’s superstar defensive player, who jokingly mentioned that joining the Browns would mean Wilson wouldn’t have to worry about getting sacked by him.
While New York remains a viable contender, details of Wilson’s visit with the Giants are scarce. The team has been hosting several veterans as they continue to make moves.
Despite the questions surrounding his future, Wilson kept a low profile at the airport, sporting sunglasses and headphones as he hurried through security, seemingly eager to get through to the other side.
Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers—another high-profile quarterback—has also yet to settle on a new team but is reportedly taking his time before making any commitments.
