Russell Wilson isn’t going to force his way off the Giants.
One day after he was benched for the start of the Jaxson Dart Era, Wilson revealed that he is going to accept his fate as the backup quarterback rather than request a trade or a release.
“No, I’m focused on helping this team win,” Wilson said. “I want to be here. I love this organization. I love the process of it all and the guys in the locker room. I’m not giving up on us and this season.”
Head coach Brian Daboll announced that Dart will start and Wilson will be No. 2 for the rest of the season. Jameis Winston is No. 3.
“Russ was nothing but a pro,” Daboll said of Wilson’s reaction to the change.
