Sean Payton was hoping the Giants wouldn't be starting Jaxson Dart in time for the Broncos game, which means he wanted to play Russell Wilson.

Fourth-year head coach Brian Daboll already benched the Super Bowl XLVIII champion, ending his stint as the veteran bridge quarterback much sooner than he hoped. As long as Jaxson Dart is healthy, Wilson will likely not throw a pass for the Giants. Therefore, the optimal outcome is to send him elsewhere.

Russell Wilson’s first season with the New York Giants has not gone according to plan. After losing the first three games with his new team, Wilson was benched in favor of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has made waves as the Giants’ new QB1.

The New York Giants have fully embraced the Jaxson Dart era, benching veteran quarterback and former Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson in favor of the promising rookie after Week 3 of the NFL season. Wilson, now relegated to the backup role, has handled the transition with notable grace and professionalism.

Russell Wilson 's future with the New York Giants is firmly in question, particularly after the veteran quarterback was benched earlier this season in favor of rookie standout Jaxson Dart. With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 4, Wilson is a potential name to monitor for a quarterback-needy team.

The New York quarterback may not be playing much, but his recording artist wife just created a season highlight.
