Russell Wilson Thinks New York Is the Perfect Place for His Next Chapter | SI.com
And in New York, with a young Giants team searching for an identity, in a place that rewards those sort of lofty manifestations produced by the type of athlete who can ably filter out the noise of the detractors, it’s worth wondering if this is where Wilson was meant to end up all along.
“Me and Carmelo were talking about this,” Wilson says. “He’s like, ‘Man, this is the perfect place for you to reestablish and have everybody realize who Russell Wilson really is, by not just how you play on the field, but what you do, the community and different things that you’re able to impact.’

New York Giants training camp 2025 preview: Key dates, notable additions, biggest storylines | NFL.com
The culture change on New York’s offense will trickle down from the revamped QB room, but what to make of the rest of the Giants’ attack? Aside from star ‘24 rookies Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy Jr., the cupboard is pretty bare at the skill positions. Wan’Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Zach Pascal help fill out the WR corps, with a number of jobs up for grabs. Cam Skattebo is an exciting (or at least name-brand) addition at RB, but how big a factor will the rookie play this summer and fall? The tight end corps is anonymous. The offensive line returns its starting five from last year but could be in flux with former starting tackle Evan Neal moving inside to guard and Andrew Thomas returning from a season-ending injury. With Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen’s job on the line again this season, N.Y. needs this offense to be running at full speed out of the gate. A summer addition at WR could be in the offing. Regardless, expect a lot of moving and shaking before Week 1.
5 Edge-Rushers 25 and Under to Buy Stock in Heading Into 2025 NFL Season | Bleacher Report
Seeing as Abdul Carter hasn’t played a down in the NFL yet, he’s the biggest wild card and gamble out of all the players named here. His traits are worth betting on, though, and early investors can expect to yield a high return, hence why the New York Giants made him the third pick of last April’s draft.
Carter will likely be more of a third-down rusher in year one, since the Giants have Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux on the edge already. However, the 2024 college All-American should get plenty of one-on-one matchups over the next several years, especially with Dexter Lawrence also factoring into the mix, creating opportunities for Carter to put up some big numbers and earn a lot of cash in the future.

New York Giants: EDGE Abdul Carter/ The Giants already have one defensive lineman — Dexter Lawrence — who is essentially impossible to block. They also have two strong edge rushers on Brian Burns and, to a lesser extent, Kayvon Thibodeaux.
But Carter is a higher level prospect than either Burns and Thibodeaux were — a player who drew pre-draft comparisons to Micah Parsons. If he comes remotely close to living up to that hype, the Giants will have a truly dominant defensive front.

Tight ends (4) Starter: Theo Johnson Reserves: Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz, Thomas Fidone II
The Giants could opt to go with three tight ends, but that would put rookie Thomas Fidone at risk. There’s no guarantee they could sneak him onto the practice squad, and they aren’t likely to part with Manhertz, their best blocking tight end. To start, they go with four.

59 – Casey Kreiter. One of the few unquestioned vets of the Giants, the Pro Bowl long snapper earned a new deal this offseason after another reliable campaign as a special teams captain.
61 – John Michael Schmitz. This isn’t an endorsement of Schmitz as a top-shelf center — he’s still got a ways to go trying to anchor Brian Daboll’s offensive line — so much as an admission that most elite blockers aren’t wearing No. 61.
