Russell Wilson has agreed on a one-year contract with the New York Giants, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the signing hasn’t been finalized, said Wilson’s deal is worth up to $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed.

The Giants signed veteran Jameis Winston to a two-year contract last week and have the third pick in next month’s NFL draft. They went 3-14 in 2024 and released 2019 first-round pick Daniel Jones during the season. Before signing Winston and Wilson, Tommy DeVito was the only quarterback on the team’s roster.

The Giants have missed the playoffs in 11 of the last 13 seasons since Eli Manning won his second Super Bowl following the 2011 season. General manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll are under pressure to win right away while potentially developing a rookie quarterback.

The 36-year-old Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection, joins his fourth team in five years. He helped lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to the playoffs last year but the team lost five in a row to end the season after starting 6-1 with Wilson.

Patriots sign Diggs, AP source says

The New England Patriots have signed former Viking and free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs, a person familiar with the deal told the Associated Press, giving quarterback Drake Maye a prime target as he heads into his second season.

The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because it was not yet announced. ESPN reported that the deal is for three years and $69 million, with $26 million guaranteed.

Diggs’ agents did not immediately respond to messages from the Associated Press seeking confirmation.

A four-time Pro Bowl selection with the Buffalo Bills, Diggs led the league with 127 receptions and 1,535 receiving yards in 2020. He is coming off an ACL injury.

SKIING

Brignone nabs season’s giant slalom title

Italian ski racer Federica Brignone wrapped up the season-long giant slalom title at the World Cup finals in a race won by Lara Gut-Behrami of Switzerland.

Brignone needed to finish just 13th or better in the final run to clinch the discipline crown and wound up second. She finished 0.14 seconds behind Gut-Behrami’s winning combined time of 2 minutes, 10.01 seconds on a warm day at Sun Valley. Sara Hector of Sweden was third.

The 34-year-old Brignone entered the day 20 points behind Alice Robinson of New Zealand in the last World Cup giant slalom race of the season. Robinson struggled with a gate in her first run, veered off course and didn’t finish, paving the way for Brignone.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Stanford coach fired following investigation

Stanford fired football coach Troy Taylor following a report last week that he had been investigated twice for allegedly mistreating staffers.

General manager Andrew Luck announced the decision in his first major move since taking over in his role running the entire football program.

ESPN reported last week that Taylor had been investigated twice since taking over before the 2023 season over allegations of hostile and aggressive behavior, as well as personal attacks, against female staff members.

Both investigations determined that Taylor’s treatment of employees, particularly of women, was inconsistent with Stanford’s standards.

The second investigation concluded that Taylor retaliated against a compliance staffer who had found seven minor NCAA infractions by “seeking her removal from her assigned duties.”

The report said investigators had never encountered “this palpable level of animosity and disdain” for a university compliance office, according to ESPN.

TRACK AND FIELD

Coe says World Athletics to genetically test

World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said that the track and field’s governing body has approved the introduction of cheek swabs and dry blood-spot tests for female athletes in order to maintain “the integrity of competition.”

The planned changes include reinstating a version of chromosome testing that was discontinued in the 1990s, requiring athletes who compete in the female category to submit to a cheek swab or dry blood-spot test for the presence of a gene that indicates whether the athlete has a “Y” chromosome present in males.

Coe said athletes will have to take the test just once during their career. It’s unclear whether the tests will be in place before the world championships in September.

World Athletics, which in 2023 banned transgender athletes who had transitioned male to female and gone through male puberty, announced in February proposed recommendations that would apply strict transgender rules to athletes who were born female but had what the organization describes as naturally occurring testosterone levels in the typical male range.

MLB

Former No. 1 pick Moniak released by Angels

Outfielder Mickey Moniak was released by the Los Angeles Angels after beating the team in salary arbitration and will receive $483,781 in termination pay rather than his $2 million salary.

Under the collective bargaining agreement that started in 2022, salaries of arbitration-eligible players that are agreed to are guaranteed but salaries determined by arbitration panels are not. Players with nonguaranteed contracts who are released during the 15 days prior to opening day receive 45 days termination pay.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Sacramento St. hires former NBA star Bibby

Former Sacramento Kings star Mike Bibby was hired to take over the struggling basketball team at Sacramento State.

Bibby is already in the process of putting together a staff and was hired at the same time the NCAA transfer portal opened. Bibby said he will target the portal aggressively in his first season to improve the roster with players who will fit his style of playing a fast-paced game featuring an aggressive, pressure defense.
