Russell Wilson has a new home as the veteran quarterback was officially introduced by the New York Giants on Wednesday afternoon. A few hours later he was enjoying everything NYC has to offer as he and his wife, Ciara, were seen sitting court-side at the Clippers-Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.
The former Super Bowl champ, who spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, said he's looking forward to being the starting quarterback for the Giants when the 2025 season begins. That shouldn't be a problem as he should be above the other two QBs currently on the roster—Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito.
While at the Knicks game Wilson was forced to autograph a football and then throw it to the crowd, because how else would you welcome a new QB to the city?

At this point I feel sorry for Ciara... she's had to fake liking 3 different basketball teams in 3 different years. https://t.co/JdGb4K8a0n

I watched all the way through because I figured Kyle Hamilton would swoop down from the rafters and intercept it. https://t.co/3LpdnqvoxP
