Giants' Russell Wilson Says 'I Gotta Get Back to Ballin' & Being Me' in Cryptic Post

Russell Wilson said in a cryptic Wednesday post he has "gotta get back to ballin'" two and a half months after being benched by the New York Giants.

Wilson was responding to a comment stating his play from 2017 to 2020 would have made him the NFL's top quarterback in 2025.

"Man… I gotta get back to Ballin' & being Me," Wilson wrote. "Back to my First 10. It's time. Time to go Dark."

Wilson earned nine Pro Bowl nods and led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl in his first 10 NFL seasons.

Since leaving Seattle following the 2021 campaign, however, he has been unable to secure a long-term starting job despite stints with the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants.

After starting all three games of the Giants' 0-3 start to the season, Wilson has slipped down the depth chart behind both rookie starter Jaxson Dart and veteran Jameis Winston.

Wilson is slated to be a free agent this spring once his deal with the Giants expires.
