Giants' Wilson fires back at Payton, calling him 'classless' on social media
"[I'm] close with the Mara and Tisch family. They found a little spark with that quarterback," Payton told reporters, referring to Jaxson Dart. "I was talking to [Giants president and CEO] John Mara not too long ago and I said, 'We were hoping that change would've happened long after our game'."
"Classless... but not surprised....Didn't realize you're still bounty hunting 15+ years later through the media. 😎😂 #LetsRide 🤣- Russell Wilson (@DangeRussWilson) October 21, 2025"
Sean Payton said the Mara and Tisch family 'found a little spark' with Jaxson Dart and told John Mara he had hoped the quarterback change would come long after their game. Payton coached Russell Wilson in 2023. Russell Wilson responded on X calling Payton 'Classless' and accusing him of 'bounty hunting,' adding emojis and the Broncos hashtag #LetsRide. Wilson started the Giants' first three games, all losses, before being replaced by Jaxson Dart. The 'bounty hunting' reference echoes allegations that the Saints offered bounties from 2009-11, for which Payton was suspended for the 2012 season.
