ESPN’s Adam Schefter was first to announce Wilson’s new deal with the Giants on Tuesday. A 10-time Pro Bowl select, Wilson had reportedly been in talks with the Cleveland Browns and even considered a return to Pittsburgh, per ESPN, but he opted for the Giants.

At Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014, Wilson and the Seahawks demolished the Denver Broncos 43-8 at MetLife.

In a recent interview with Bustle, Ciara complimented her husband’s communication skills and credited his experience as a quarterback. “It’s the quarterback in him,” Ciara said. “He’s so used to having to do that anyway. It’s a big part of his everyday life.”
