Ciara Celebrates Russell Wilson's Giants Deal with Throwback Picture: 'New York State of Mind!'

Grammy Award-winning artist Ciara didn't hold back in sharing her excitement over her husband Russell Wilson's latest career move. The NFL quarterback, who boasts a Super Bowl win under his belt, signed a one-year deal with the New York Giants, and Ciara took to social media to celebrate in style.

Ciara called Wilson her "greatest inspiration," sharing his Instagram story that featured a photo of MetLife Stadium captioned, "Been here before… can’t wait to do it again." If that wasn’t enough to drive home the New York vibes, she posted a throwback picture of Wilson from his stint with the New York Yankees during spring training in 2018, tagging her husband and adding, "New York State of Mind!" Well, if anyone can embody that state of mind, it’s Wilson!

Wilson’s return to New York is part of a one-year deal valued at up to $21 million, with $10.5 million guaranteed, according to sources. This marks his fourth team in five years—a whirlwind career for sure. Last season, he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, helping the team reach the playoffs with solid stats: 2,482 passing yards, 16 touchdown passes, and just five interceptions. Not too shabby for a single season in the Steel City.

The Giants have been busy on the quarterback front, also signing veteran Jameis Winston to a two-year deal last week. Despite these moves, rumors suggest the team is eyeing quarterback Shedeur Sanders in next month’s draft with the third overall pick. It seems the Giants are hedging their bets while planning for the future.

Wilson, who had a promising career in professional baseball, may feel a sense of nostalgia as he steps back into New York’s sports limelight. And with Ciara cheering him on, the city might just feel like a second home.
