Giants

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was quick to point out that Wilson “may not be retiring,” but it would be surprising if the former ten-time Pro Bowler and 2013 Super Bowl champion returned at this point. Wilson was on a Hall of Fame trajectory early in his career, earning the starting job for Pete Carroll’s Seahawks over Matt Flynn as a third-round rookie in 2012. With the help of the legendary Legion of Boom defense, Wilson and the Seahawks dominated the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVII to bring the franchise their first championship title, and fell just short of repeating as champions in 2014. A trade to the Broncos in 2022 didn’t work out as either side had hoped, as Wilson’s five-year, $245 million contract quickly turned into one of the worst deals in the league. After officially moving on to the Steelers in 2024, Wilson played marginally better in his 11 starts, but not well enough to come back in 2025. A forgettable six-game stint with the Giants last season, in which he threw for 831-3-3 on 119 passes, may be the last we see of Mr. Unlimited on the gridiron, as he now prepares to join CBS as a member of their Sunday pregame show. Wilson and the Jets were rumored to have interest in one another earlier this offseason, but this move to TV had been foreshadowed for a while, so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise.

Berrios was one of four receivers to work out for the Giants on Monday, with the most notable being free agent Odell Beckham Jr. Whether or not Berrios’ signing will have an impact on OBJ joining the team remains to be seen, but unlike Beckham, Berrios was actually in the league last season. The 30-year-old receiver caught six passes for 37 yards for the Texans last season, and perhaps most importantly, has a lengthy resumé on special teams. After losing return man Gunner Olszewski to a torn Achilles last week, the Giants are in need of help in the return game. Berrios has a 191 combined kick and punt returns for his career and was a First-team All-Pro as a return man in 2021.

The drumbeat continues to grow louder for an OBJ/Giants reunion. The star receiver was recently spotted at Brian Burns charity softball game over the weekend, and has remained in constant contact with the team this offseason. At 33 years old, it’s hard to imagine OBJ offering much upside in reality and in fantasy land. Beckham didn’t play in 2025 and had a forgettable 2024 season with the Dolphins, catching nine passes for 55 scoreless yards. In addition to Beckham, the Giants are also working out JuJu Smith-Schuster, Braxton Berrios, and Anthony Miller on Monday. Smith-Schuster caught 33 passes for 345 yards and one touchdown last season with the Chiefs.

Raanan’s assessment comes after Giants LB Brian Burns’ charity softball game. Beckham attended and signed autographs for fans. This doesn’t give us a ton to go on, but Beckham is at least spending time with the team off the field. If he were to sign in New York, it is unlikely that he would be able to return FLEX value on a weekly basis, but he would deepen the pass-catching corps for QB Jaxson Dart. Beckham and other free agent wide receivers will workout for the Giants on Monday.

Others reported seeing Skattebo sporting a jersey and helmet, talking to OC Matt Nagy and working with trainers. Stapleton’s phrasing sort of makes it sound like Skattebo literally snuck off and took a few reps. Either way, he seems to have made it through today’s organized team activities session just fine. This is the first time reporters have seen Skattebo suited up for practice since he suffered his season-ending injury. He has maintained that he will be on the field for the Giants in Week 1. He is seemingly on track to do so.

Olszewski, 29, now faces a lengthy and rigorous recovery. His return timeline is currently unknown. Olszewski functioned as the Giants’ primary kick and punt returner last year. He signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract this offseason, with $300,000 in guarantees. Olszewski is the third Giants player to rupture an Achilles tendon in spring workouts this year.

Reese’s deal is worth about $47.831 million and includes a $31.2 million signing bonus. North Jersey’s Art Stapleton reports that Reese’s awareness and explosiveness have stood out at organized team activities, noting that Reese “always seems to be in the right position whether that’s in coverage or in the run game.” He reportedly showed off his burst on a blitz as well. The Giants’ do-it-all defender is evidently doing it all this spring.

Olszewski was coming off the line, running a route, when he fell to the ground and “appeared to grab at his right lower leg,” immediately showing “significant frustration.” Olszewski’s teammates were reportedly upset by what they saw. This sounds like it might be an Achilles injury. Hopefully, it’s not. Olszewski earned first-team All-Pro honors while leading the league in punt return yards in 2020. Losing him to a significant injury would hurt the Giants’ special teams unit.

The Giants converted his base salary to a roster bonus, creating $6.5 million in cap space. The move will likely help the Giants finish signing their 2026 rookie class. Arvell Reese is the last rookie in need of a contract from the team. Thomas remains under contract through 2029.

Garafolo added, “Other team leaders spoke up as well, and Dart and the players worked through it.” Dart caused a bit of a stir when he got on the stage at Rockland Community College to introduce Donald Trump for a political rally. Giants defender Abdul Carter took to X to voice his displeasure and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor felt the need to clarify that the locker room was fine. Head coach John Harbaugh has reportedly spoken to Dart about the incident. Harbaugh himself has met with Trump previously, though in a much less public fashion. This story will eventually fade into the background, but it’s not a great start to Harbaugh’s tenure as the Giants’ head coach, nor Dart’s first season as the full-time starter.
