New York Giants backup quarterback Russell Wilson, who was benched for rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart after an 0-3 start, is expected to be a trade candidate prior to the NFL’s trade deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

“Wilson is expected to emerge as a trade candidate prior to the deadline on Nov. 4, the target of a QB-needy team in need of a veteran, according to sources around the league.

“Wilson joins Atlanta Falcons backup Kirk Cousins as the top quarterback options potentially available if a team needs a long-term starter as quarterback injuries do happen,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday.

Wilson has completed 59.1 percent of his passes for 778 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions this season.
