"Veteran Russell Wilson is being benched for rookie Jaxson Dart. New York's coaching staff hoped to wait a bit longer to throw Dart into the fire. After a 0-3 start, Brian Daboll is starting Jaxson Dart in desperation. He's on the hot seat because the Giants could fire him this offseason. If Jaxson Dart has success with New York, it could save Daboll's job."
"With the 25th pick in the 2025 NFL draft, the Giants selected QB Jaxon Dart out of Ole Miss. For the 2025 season, New York had Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart on the roster. Wilson was named the starter by Brian Daboll and Dart the backup. Jameis Winston is the emergency QB3. In two of their three games to begin the 2025 season, the Giants' offense struggled. They scored six points in Week 1 vs. Washington and nine points in Week 3 vs. the Chiefs."
"Against Kansas City on Sunday Night Football, Russell Wilson struggled. He threw two interceptions and had an awful red zone possession late in the game. New York was down 22-9, and Wilson threw the ball out of bounds on fourth down. That sequence likely sealed his fate with the New York Giants. They were hoping for quality football from the veteran QB."
The Giants have benched Russell Wilson after three games and named rookie Jaxson Dart the Week 4 starter. The team drafted Dart with the 25th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and carried Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Dart on the roster, with Winston listed as emergency QB3. New York scored six and nine points in Weeks 1 and 3, respectively, as the offense struggled. Wilson threw two interceptions and a crucial fourth-down throw out of bounds against Kansas City. Head coach Brian Daboll faces pressure and could be fired this offseason; Dart's success could influence Daboll's job security.
