The Giants’ lack of a future at quarterback could be helpful for Russell Wilson’s immediate future.

The star quarterback has set an April 15 deadline for him and the Seahawks to reach a new agreement, the Seattle Times reports. The 30-year-old has one year left on his contract and has publicly maintained an interest in staying in Seattle, but that has not stopped the rumor mill from churning.

Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd floated recently that Wilson and his songstress wife, Ciara, would have eyes on New York and a Giants franchise that has 38-year-old Eli Manning at quarterback.

“Russell Wilson’s wife is Ciara. She’s a singer and an entertainer,” Cowherd said in February. “She would prefer to live in New York, and the Giants need a quarterback, and there’s nobody in the draft they love. A lot of things add up. Last year of Russell Wilson’s contract. His wife would prefer New York. Seattle is not an entertainment mecca. … Also, Russell Wilson, good-looking guy, classy guy, incredibly marketable, and kinda buried in the Pacific Northwest.”

Wilson wants to move up the timeline to remove the distractions of contract talks like the ones he endured before signing his contract in 2015. The Giants looming in the background would only add to the background noise.

“The reality is a lot of guys move, but for me, I love Seattle,” Wilson told The Post recently. “I won a Super Bowl there, been to two, won a lot of playoff games. I love being there. As far as trades or being moved, you can never be surprised. I have a clear mindset of how much I love Seattle.”

The Giants have been consistent in their belief Manning is still viable at the position, but eventually they will have to move on. It is unclear if they plan on targeting a quarterback with one of their first-round picks (Nos. 6, 17) in this month’s draft.

Wilson is entering the final year of a four-year, $87.6 million contract signed July 31, 2015, and he is scheduled to earn a base salary of $17 million in the 2019 season.

The Seahawks tend to finalize contracts the summer before the season begins, but Wilson has pushed up their timeline.

The Seahawks have said they intend to sign Wilson to the extension sooner rather than later.

“We’ve been in communication, sure,” head coach Pete Carroll said recently at the NFL league meetings in Phoenix. “It’s very topical, we’re on it.”
