The current New York Giants quarterback is still costing his former team in Denver an insane amount this season.

After leading the Seahawks to Super Bowl LX with a 31-27 win over the Rams, Sam Darnold earned praise from Russell Wilson.

Russell Wilson celebrated his former team, the Seahawks, and Sam Darnold for returning to the NFC championship game for the first time since his departure.

The Giants signed Russell Wilson last offseason to give them a proven veteran, and a Super Bowl winner, in their quarterback room. Even with Jameis Winston already under contract and a plan in place to draft a quarterback (which turned out to be Jaxson Dart ), Wilson was brought in to be the starter.

The Denver Broncos were one of the worst teams in the league over the last few years, but this year they bounced back with a trip to the AFC Championship.

Seattle and Denver both made the smartest decisions in trading and releasing fading and expensive QB Russell Wilson at the exact right times.
