This page lists all the 2025 NFL Signings for the New York Giants. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

March 2025 – Signings
Giants sign G Greg Van Roten (1 year, $3.25 million): B+ Grade
signed on 3/12/2025
The Giants made a terrible move by signing Russell Wilson yesterday, but they’ve at least made some quality transactions this offseason. This is one of them. Greg Van Roten is 35, so he’s obviously past his prime, but he was solid in pass protection last year. It’s not often that the Giants have linemen who can pass protect, so it’s important for them to keep those who are capable of doing so.

Giants sign QB Russell Wilson (1 year, $21 million): GO MILLEN Grade
signed on 3/25/2025
I saw that the Giants signed Russell Wilson when I was putting my son to bed. I assumed it was for like $3 million, or something. I would have considered that an overpay, so you can imagine my shock when I saw that Wilson was given $21 million, $10.5 million of which is guaranteed. Um, what!?
Wilson is a decrepit quarterback who will turn 37 during the 2025 season. Aside from a few games last season, he’s been terrible for the past three years. He’s also awful in the locker room. There’s no reason the Giants should’ve had any interest in him unless they missed out on all the veteran backup quarterbacks. They did not do so, as they managed to sign Jameis Winston, who is better than Wilson right now. Why even sign Wilson then? This is such a waste of money.

Giants sign QB Jameis Winston (2 years, $8 million): A- Grade
signed on 3/21/2025
The Giants have finally found their quarterback. Backup quarterback, that is. Jameis Winston will be paid like an average reserve signal-caller, yet he’s a premium backup. The Giants were able to get a bargain.
Then again, the Giants don’t need a premium backup quarterback at the moment because they’re not a contender. Winston, however, will at least make Malik Nabers happy if he’s asked to start in 2025. There’s a good chance the Giants will draft a quarterback early, but if they don’t, the Giants will at least have an entertaining offense to showcase for their fans.
