Who signed new contracts in the NFL this week?

Billy 1:45
No, not this week. Not this week. No, not this week. But maybe next week. Maybe. We'll see what happens. So, hey, here's a headline. After signing Jameis Winston and leading the world to believe that he would be their starting quarterback, the New York Giants then decided to also sign Russell Wilson. Now, there had been rumors speculating that the Giants may, at the number three spot, take a quarterback or even trade up to the number one spot to take a quarterback if they liked one particular quarterback, probably Cam Ward, who would probably be the number one pick. But instead, they said, you know what? We're going to sign Russell Wilson to a one-year deal and broke the heart, even though he hasn't come out and said it, I will say it for him, broke the heart of Jameis Winston, who signed a two-year deal just last week, leading us to believe that he would be the starting quarterback of the New York Giants because the New York Giants now have Jameis Winston, they now have Russell Wilson, and they have fan favorite Tommy DeVito, who they re-signed, who we thought would be the backup.

So it would appear as though They are not going to be drafting a quarterback, but you never know. So, gang, what do we think of the New York Giants signing Russell Wilson?

Why did the Giants sign Russell Wilson?

Mike 2:57
It certainly has a lot of implications. I don't necessarily believe that it takes them out of drafting a quarterback at number three. I do think it takes them out of trading up to number one. I think those deals pretty much preclude you from making that move. But I think if Shador Sanders is there at three and – The other guy they might want was taken at two. I think they could draft Sanders and put him on the bench for a year behind Russell Wilson. The interesting thing about the Wilson and the Winston contracts are if neither of them play, they cost like $14 million total between two of them. So you could easily justify spending $14 million on two very high-end backup quarterbacks.
Fuentes 3:45
I get what you're saying about that, but actually it makes more sense now that I think about it because they do draft whoever at three if they're able to get one of the top two guys because I'm not, are we sure like the Titans might take a quarterback and then the Browns will take a quarterback right to the top two picks?
