Giants agree to sign Braxton Berrios to one-year deal
The Giants are looking at a few veteran receivers, but they already know one player at the position they want on their roster.
New York is signing Braxton Berrios to a one-year deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Berrios, 30, spent last season with the Texans. He appeared in four games, catching six passes for 37 yards. He also returned three kicks, averaging 27.0 yards, and three punts, averaging 8.3 yards. amunra-online.pl
Berrios would appear to slot in as a direct replacement for Gunner Olszewski, who suffered a torn Achilles during OTAs last week.
Berrios has appeared in 91 games with six starts since entering the league in 2018 as a sixth-round pick. He’s caught 140 passes for 1,360 yards with six TDs.
The Giants were also reportedly working out Odell Beckham Jr. and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Russell Wilson picks TV over continuing his playing career
Russell Wilson is staying in New York. But he won't be playing for the Jets.
Via Adam Schefter of ESPN, Wilson is "finalizing a deal" to become an analyst with CBS.
Wilson will be joining The NFL Today, which currently features James Brown, Nate Burleson, and Bill Cowher. A seat opened when Matt Ryan left to become the Falcons' president of football.
The Jets were considering Wilson as a veteran backup to Geno Smith, who once was Wilson's backup in Seattle. Wilson has said he had an offer from the Jets.
It's rare for any quarterback who was once the highest-paid player in the league to happily accept the second spot on a depth chart. (Joe Flacco is the one of the most significant exceptions.) Wilson was the Giants' starter when he signed there in 2025, and he was the Steelers' starter when he signed there in 2024. His days as a starter are and were over.
As to the biggest TV opportunities, those seats don't always pop open. With Ryan exiting, there was a current opportunity for Wilson. If he didn't take it now, it may not have been there in a year.
Wilson, a third-round pick out of Wisconsin, started for the Seahawks from 2012 through 2021. He was traded to the Broncos in 2022.
A Super Bowl winner and a 10-time Pro Bowler, Wilson was never a first-team All-Pro or a serious MVP candidate. At 16th on the all-time passing yardage list and 12th on the all-time passing touchdown list, he'll have a somewhat challenging case to get to Canton.
That's where a great career in TV can make a difference. Yes, the debate will be about his playing career. And, yes, his case will get stronger if he becomes a successful and enduring presence in NFL broadcast universe.

Giants sign Odell Beckham Jr.
Odell Beckham Jr. is coming back to where his NFL career started.
Shortly after multiple reports on Monday said that Beckham will sign with the Giants as a free agent, the Giants announced the agreement. Beckham worked out for the team the second time this offseason earlier in the day.
Beckham was a 2014 first-round pick and was named the offensive rookie of the year after catching 91 passes during his first NFL season. He had 197 catches over the next two seasons, but missed most of 2017 after fracturing his ankle and dropped to 77 catches after signing a contract extension ahead of the 2018 season. He was traded to the Browns the next year and went on to play for the Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins before sitting out all of last season.
Beckham played for first-year Giants head coach John Harbaugh while with Baltimore in 2023, so it will be a dual reunion for the wideout now that he's back with the NFC East club.
The Giants are also signing wide receiver Braxton Berrios after a Monday workout.
