Maybe time for Wilson to have all giants WR, TE in his personal training camp in Rancho Santa Fe? Wilson can probably round them all up in his private jet.
This is why he needs his own office. Meetings and whatnot.

I dont know that its a huge story but its also not clickbait.

Russ has never been a guy to get a wr the ball with split second timing when the window is tight and there's just enough separation in the play, as designed, to make it work. He has always preferred holding the ball and waiting until HE feels good about throwing it, putting the onus on the wr's to scramble around to try to find an opening and stressing the O line. It makes for exciting play, but if i were a wr, honing my skill day-in and day-out to beat the guy across from me by any margin possible and there's the potential that all of that study, practice and work is for nothing because i'm not going to get the ball when i win, i wouldnt be so subtle in making my feelings known either.
By now, across three teams where he has worn out his welcome and proven a tendency to NOT get the ball out as the play dictates and when a wr is open, i am sure the word among the WR community as a whole is that Russ plays Russ ball and nothing else. This is more a preemptive warning that thats not going to fly in NY.
I dont see Russ being a starter for more than a game or few, if that. When the WR's you are throwing to dont believe that you can help them and the team excel, as a qb, your days are numbered.
An interesting perspective.

But a smart wide receiver, preparing for the Giants season would not do or act as you suggest.

Their time would be better spent studying the tape/film on Wilson to Doug Baldwin, Wilson to Lockett, to Courtland Sutton, and to George Pickens.

Learn from their success.
