Russell Wilson’s first Giants social media post appears to make his aspirations clear

It seems Russell Wilson’s giant vision matches his new team rather well.

The newest Big Blue signal-caller agreed to a one-year, $10.5 million contract on Tuesday, and hours after the news broke, Wilson took to X to post his feelings about coming to the Big Apple.

“Been here before … can’t wait to do it again,” Wilson wrote on X with a picture of MetLife Stadium’s exterior.

Wilson, 36, happened to win Super Bowl 2014 with the Seahawks over the Peyton Manning-led Broncos at the same venue.

In the 43-8 rout, Wilson threw for 206 yards and two touchdowns on 18 of 26 attempts.

Wilson’s wife Ciara reposted his photo of MetLife and added a string of red, white, and blue hearts along the bottom.

Wilson made it back to the Super Bowl a year later, but his win in the Meadowlands still marks his only victory in the big game.

The 36-year-old spent last season with the Steelers and played 11 games after sustaining a calf injury during the summer.

Upon his return, he threw for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions as he helped put the Steelers into the playoffs and was named to the Pro Bowl.

But it was a hot-and-cold year for the signal-caller, who struggled down the stretch with four straight losses, including a wild-card round loss on the road to the Ravens.

Wilson now looks to be a strong stopgap option under center for his new wide receiver corps in Malik Nabers, Wan’Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton.

Slayton seemed excited by the news of his new QB.

“Giants country…..Lets Ride,” he wrote on X on Tuesday.
