Russ swaps agents, 'not blinking' on NFL career
"The 37-year-old Wilson said this week that he couldn't envision any scenario that he didn't play despite a career-low three starts and spending a majority of the season as the Giants third-string quarterback. "Yeah, I'm not blinking," Wilson said on Monday. "I know what I'm capable of. I think I showed that in Dallas. I want to do that again and just be ready to rock and roll and be as healthy as possible and be able to play ball.""
"Out of nowhere, Wilson mentioned this week while teammates were cleaning out their lockers that his performance was hampered by a hamstring injury suffered before the Week 2 game against the Cowboys in which he threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns. "I played that game...I tore my hamstring on Friday in practice, the last play of practice," Wilson said. "I had a Grade 2."
Russell Wilson intends to play next season and has switched representation to agent David Mulugheta ahead of free agency in March. He had worked with longtime agent Mark Rodgers since entering the league in 2012. Mulugheta represents several high-profile quarterbacks including Deshaun Watson, C.J. Stroud and Justin Fields. Wilson, 37, recorded a career-low three starts and spent most of the season as the Giants' third-string quarterback. He completed 69-of-119 passes for 831 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions, and New York lost all three games he started. His performance was hampered by a Grade-2 hamstring tear suffered in practice before Week 2, which he played through.
