Now officially a free agent, veteran quarterback Russell Wilson is making the rounds, officially scheduled to make a visit with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday followed by a visit with the New York Giants on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Wednesday afternoon.

The Giants have also been in talks with Aaron Rodgers, who’s mulling his options which will undoubtedly have some sort of ripple effect on the eventual landing spot for Wilson. NFL reporter Judy Battista reported that Wilson appears to be the Giants’ “plan B” while Rodgers is “plan A”. Meanwhile, Diana Russini of The Athletic reported Wednesday that the Minnesota Vikings could also be in play for Rodgers.

The Cleveland Browns, meanwhile, still have Deshaun Watson under contract, likely to miss most of the 2025 season after re-rupturing his Achilles tendon — an injury that ended his 2024 campaign. The team made a move to acquire former Steelers quarterback (and Super Bowl champion!) Kenny Pickett from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for backup QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and a fifth-round pick earlier this week. The signing of Wilson by the Browns would be an entertaining move, at the very least, given that Pickett found himself in a QB competition with Wilson just last offseason, leading up to his trade to the Eagles.

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t necessarily out of the mix for Wilson, either, despite his exploration of other options. Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette noted the potential that the Steelers revisit Wilson as a starter, should Pittsburgh be unable to come to a financial agreement with Rodgers.

The consensus preference for Rodgers over Wilson is an intriguing one, as the latter had a generally more efficient season in his limited starts, with an edge in win percentage, pass yards per attempt, completion percentage, rushing production and interception rate per Stathead. Rodgers and Wilson were each tied with a 4.8% passing touchdown rate.
