Fields,Wilson & Diggs Find New Homes in East. But what about Mr. Rodgers new neighborhood?

The quarterback carousel spins with teams like the Giants and Jets blending veteran stopgaps with long-term plans, while Diggs’ signing reflects a gamble on proven talent to bolster young signal-callers.

Aaron Rodgers’ indecision remains the elephant in the room, poised to trigger another wave of moves.

Buckle Up for 2025: Big Names, Bigger Stakes

With Russell Wilson steadying the Giants and Stefon Diggs igniting the Patriots, the NFL’s 2025 season is already taking shape as a thriller. As draft day nears and Rodgers keeps the league guessing, these moves are just the opening act. Expect more twists, bigger stakes.

As the NFL free agency window swings wide open, March 25, 2025, delivers two blockbuster deals. Russell Wilson and Stefon Diggs, household names with Pro Bowl pedigrees, have inked contracts that promise to reshape their new teams—and the league—for the season ahead. Here’s the breakdown of these headline-grabbing moves.

Russell Wilson to the Giants

- Team: New York Giants

- Deal Details: Russell Wilson has reportedly reached an agreement with the New York Giants on a one-year contract worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed. This move follows Wilson’s meetings with the Giants and Cleveland Browns earlier in free agency, which initially ended without a deal. Posts on X and multiple reports confirm the contract was finalized today, casting Wilson as a potential bridge quarterback for a Giants team eyeing the NFL Draft’s quarterback crop.

- Context: Wilson, named a Pro Bowler 10 times by 2024, spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year deal after a rocky exit from the Denver Broncos. His market seemed tethered to other quarterback dominoes—namely Aaron Rodgers, who remains unsigned. The Giants’ move suggests a dual-track strategy: leveraging Wilson’s veteran savvy while grooming a rookie successor.

Stefon Diggs to the Patriots

- Team: New England Patriots

- Deal Details: Stefon Diggs has signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the New England Patriots, including $26 million guaranteed. The deal, reported today, caps a courtship that began with Diggs’ visit to Foxborough last week—a trip that initially yielded no agreement. The 31-year-old wideout, sidelined by a torn ACL after eight games with the Houston Texans in 2024 (47 receptions, 496 yards, three touchdowns), now joins forces with young quarterback Drake Maye.

- Context: A four-time Pro Bowler, Diggs hit free agency after his restructured one-year Texans deal expired. His move to New England signals a bold offensive reboot, with early reports indicating he’s ahead of schedule on his ACL recovery—a boon for Patriots fans hungry for a resurgence.

Other Notable Moves:

The Wilson and Diggs signings don’t stand alone. Free agency has been a whirlwind:

- Justin Fields landed a two-year, $40 million deal with the New York Jets ($30 million guaranteed), fresh off a 4-2 stint with the Steelers in 2024.

- Sam Darnold cashed in with a three-year, $100.5 million contract from the Seattle Seahawks, riding a 14-3 Vikings season after Geno Smith’s trade to Las Vegas.

- Amari Cooper, still unsigned, looms as a top free agent with more deals likely brewing.
