The New York Giants face an uphill battle in 2025, with analysts projecting a challenging season despite the addition of veteran quarterback Russell Wilson. Following a 3-14 record in 2024, the team is expected to show some improvement, but concerns remain about their ability to compete against a brutal schedule.
Wilson’s arrival brings much-needed experience to New York’s offense, but the supporting cast raises questions about how much impact he can make. The team’s offensive line remains a work in progress, and while Malik Nabers offers promise as a primary target, the lack of depth at receiver could limit Wilson’s efficiency.
With a schedule featuring ten games against 2024 playoff teams, including the Eagles, Chiefs, and Lions, the Giants’ margin for error is slim. Defensively, the Giants will rely heavily on their pass rush, led by Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux.
The front seven is expected to be a strength, but the secondary must step up against elite quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. New additions, such as rookie cornerback Paulson Adebo, may help, but the unit’s lack of consistency could be exposed against high-powered offenses.
New York Giants Receive Concerning Prediction After Signing Russell Wilson
New York has been given a concerning projection after signing Wilson in the offseason. This is detailed more in an analysis by Moe Moton for Bleacher Report.
In 2024, the New York Giants fielded an unwatchable offense with Daniel Jones, Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito under center. Russell Wilson is 36 years old, though he still throws an accurate moon ball, and he’ll connect with Malik Nabers on a number of those passes this year.
As a bridge-gap quarterback, Wilson will keep the offense steady, but with him, Big Blue’s offense has a low ceiling. He averaged fewer than 226 passing yards per game in three of his last four seasons. By the way, Wilson has played for a different team in each of the previous three years.
2025 projection: 7-10
The schedule does little to favor New York, as they open with back-to-back road games against division rivals and face multiple Super Bowl contenders in primetime matchups. The late bye week in Week 14 offers little respite, leaving the team with a grueling stretch in the second half of the season. Analysts predict a 4-13 finish, reflecting the challenges posed by one of the league’s toughest schedules.
While Wilson provides leadership and stability, New York’s roster still lacks the depth needed to contend in the NFC East. The season will likely serve as a rebuilding year, with an eye toward developing younger players and building for the future. Improvement will come in small steps, but expectations remain tempered for 2025.
