Russell Wilson’s wife Ciara sends Jay-Z-inspired message after Giants move

Russell Wilson is heading to the Big Apple, and his biggest fan is all in on the move. After the veteran quarterback agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Giants, his wife, Ciara, made it clear she’s embracing the next chapter.

The Grammy-winning singer took to Instagram on Tuesday night to celebrate Wilson’s new home, posting a photo of him in a Yankees uniform with the caption: “New York State of Mind! My greatest inspiration @dangerusswilson.” To drive the message home, she paired it with Jay-Z’s Empire State of Mind, the ultimate anthem for a fresh start in NYC.

Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowler, chose the Giants over other options and his move marks a return to MetLife Stadium, the site of his Super Bowl 48 triumph with the Seahawks. Now, he’ll be calling it home – at least for the next season.

How much is Russell Wilson’s Giants contract worth?

Wilson’s contract with the Giants is a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, with $10.5 million guaranteed. He reportedly considered staying with the Steelers or joining the Browns but ultimately chose New York. It’s a state of mind!
