Quaterback 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 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 draft.

The 36-year-old Wilson, a 10- time Pro Bowl selection, joins his fourth team in five years. He helped the Pittsburgh Steelers reach the playoffs last season, throwing for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions.

He had 3,070 yards passing and 26 TDs for the Denver Broncos in 2023 but was dumped after two disappointing seasons.

Wilson averaged 3,706 yards and 29 TDs in 10 seasons with Seattle, leading the Seahawks to one Super Bowl title.

Wilson is 121-77-1 in 199 career starts in the regular season and 9-8 in the playoffs. He has 46,135 yards passing, 350 TDs and 111 interceptions. Wilson also has rushed for 5,462 yards and 31 TDs.

The New England Patriots signed free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs, giving quarterback Drake Maye a prime target as he heads into his second season.

ESPN reported that the deal is for three years and $69 million, with $26 million guaranteed.

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 that limited him to eight games last year in Houston.

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, the former Stanford and NFL star quarterback, announced the decision in his first major move since taking over in his role running the entire football program.

“Since beginning my role as general manager, I have been thoroughly assessing the entire Stanford football program,” Luck said in a statement. “It has been clear that certain aspects of the program need change. Additionally, in recent days, there has been significant attention to Stanford investigations in previous years related to coach Taylor. After continued consideration it is evident to me that our program needs a reset. In consultation with university leadership I no longer believe that coach Taylor is the right coach to lead our 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.

From Luck’s first season as starting quarterback in 2009 through the 2018 season, the Cardinal were tied for the sixth most wins in FBS, playing in three Rose Bowls and two other BCS bowls in a 10-year span.

But Stanford is 20-46 in six seasons since then.

Taylor was hired after David Shaw stepped down in 2022 after his second straight 3-9 season. Taylor, who had helped build Sacramento State into an FCS power, went 3-9 in each of his two seasons with the Cardinal.
