Could the Giants really get into a bidding war with Cleveland for Russell Wilson?
The New York Giants have competition for one of their primary quarterback targets.
Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that Russell Wilson will visit the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. He’ll then fly to New York on Thursday night for a Friday meeting with the Giants.

It’s an interesting development, as the Browns also recently traded for Kenny Pickett.
There has been some smoke recently that the Browns could be targeting a quarterback at the top of the draft. Their interest in Wilson could indicate that they don’t believe that their target would be available. That could indicate that they believe either the Tennessee Titans are taking their favorite quarterback prospect, or that a team like the Giants is likely to jump them.
The fact that Wilson also has a visit scheduled with the Giants on Friday suggests a couple things as well. On one hand, they might not be expecting Aaron Rodgers’ decision any time soon and are going about their business. On the other hand, it could suggest that the Giants believe that Rodgers is leaning toward Pittsburgh and want to be ready to pivot as soon as possible.
We’ll keep an eye on the situation as it develops.
