Wilson came into the game in the second half after Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion. He took two sacks and was only able to lead the Giants to one field goal along the way.

Giants QB Russell Wilson is expected to emerge as a trade candidate.

Wilson was recently benched by the Giants as the team elected to turn to rookie QB Jaxson Dart after an 0-3 start to the season. Wilson said all of the right things after his benching, but indicated that he believes he’s not done. The Giants will look to move Wilson to a team in need of a quarterback prior to the November 4th trade deadline.

It was announced on Tuesday that Wilson would be benched this week for rookie Jaxson Dart. Daboll added that he was not focused on a scenario where he could request his release.
