Russell Wilson’s choice to join the Steelers followed discussions with the Giants, during which he received no assurance of starting ahead of Daniel Jones if he chose New York.

According to TheAthletic.com, the Giants did not guarantee Wilson’s playing time during their meeting, which occurred before his discussions with the Steelers.

Upon joining the Steelers, Wilson was promptly designated as the starting quarterback after the team traded Kenny Pickett. Despite subsequently acquiring Justin Fields, the Steelers have indicated that Fields will serve as Wilson’s backup.

Meanwhile, the Giants signed Drew Lock, who stated during his introductory press conference that he was informed Jones holds the starting position.

While both Wilson and Jones could potentially be replaced during the season, the Steelers have committed to Wilson for only one year. Similarly, the Giants remain open to transitioning away from Jones if his performance mirrors last season’s struggles.

Currently, the starting role for the Steelers belongs to Wilson, a decision he made after learning that Jones holds the starting position with the Giants.
