Russell Wilson
Needs To Retire After Giants Benching
… Marcus Spears Says

Former NFL star Marcus Spears says it’s time for Russell Wilson to hang up his cleats … telling TMZ Sports that after the quarterback got benched by the Giants, he should retire.
Spears made it clear to us during a brief chat out in NYC this week that he thinks Russ is cooked now that Jaxson Dart is QB1 in New York.
In fact, when we asked the ex-Dallas Cowboys D-lineman if it’s time for Wilson to call it quits — he said straight-up, “Yeah, Russell gotta go!”
Wilson joined the Giants in March, following three disappointing seasons with the Broncos and Steelers … and after he opened 2025 with a 0-3 record, Brian Daboll and Co. sat him in favor of Dart.
Wilson has vowed to return to the field at some point in the future — stating after the coach’s decision, “I’m not done” — but Spears obviously thinks otherwise.
“For me personally, I’m not done. I’ve got so much belief in myself and I know what I’m capable of. I know I can help this football team if that comes up.”

As for Dart, Spears was very complimentary of the rookie after he pulled out a W in his first start … saying, “Dart’s going to be good.”
The signal-caller will try to further prove Spears and the rest of Big Blue Nation right this weekend … when the Giants take on the Saints on Sunday at the Superdome.
