Russell Wilson has agreed on a one-year contract with the New York Giants, a person with knowledge of the deal told the Associated Press.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the signing hasn’t been finalized, said Wilson’s deal is worth up to $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed.
The Giants signed veteran Jameis Winston to a two-year contract last week and have the third pick in next month’s NFL draft.
The 36-year-old Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection, joins his fourth team in five years. He helped lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to the playoffs last year, but the team lost five in a row to end the season after starting 6-1 with Wilson.
