Summary

Dan and Nick explore Adam Schefter's report (and picture to follow!) of Russell Wilson at Newark airport after his meeting with the Giants brass. They break down why Russ Wilson would sign a veteran minimum contract with the Giants (or any team), why Daniel Jones' 2025 injury guarantee clause in his contract could be impacting the team's interest in Russ, why Wilson's big-time throw percentage on outside the numbers attempts would help the development of a Malik Naber or Rome Odunze, and a lot more as they explore the possibility of Russ to the Giants on a veteran minimum contract.
