The New York Giants agreed to terms with quarterback Jameis Winston earlier this week, but that will not stop them from pursuing other veterans.
In addition to Aaron Rodgers, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Russell Willson remains “in the mix” for New York.
“(Wilson) still has a few (options). Not totally off Pittsburgh’s list. Still in the mix for the Giants,” Fowler said on SportsCenter. “He’s looked at the Giants as a viable option for a while now and despite that Winston signing, my sense is the Giants have looked at signing two free agent quarterbacks and then they could still draft one. They’re really just starting from scratch on their quarterback room.”
Fowler notes that the Cleveland Browns are also still in the mix, albeit from the outside, for Wilson after visiting with him earlier in the week.
Additionally, Fowler confirmed other league reports that the Giants remain on the hunt for Rodgers.
“They’re still not totally out of it on Rodgers. They’re not the favorite and they kind of know it,” Fowler said. “I think the Giants are getting a little impatient but still in the mix.”
Rodgers spent six hours meeting with the Steelers recently and they are the odds-on favorites to sign him. But even if that were to happen, a deal for Wilson or another veteran like Joe Flacco is becoming increasingly more likely for the Giants.
