Quarterback Russell Wilson has been involved in serious talks to go into television as he contemplates the end of his NFL playing career, The Athletic reported Friday.
Replacing Matt Ryan at CBS’ “The NFL Today” pregame show appears to be the preferred landing spot, per the outlet. Wilson has worked with CBS on occasion in recent years, including a stint during the New York Giants’ bye week in 2025.
No longer with the Giants, Wilson visited the New York Jets on Monday about a possible backup position behind Geno Smith.
Ryan, 40, left CBS to become president of football with the Atlanta Falcons.
Host James Brown and analysts Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher also are on “The NFL Today.”
After an 0-3 start last season, the Giants benched Wilson in favor of rookie Jaxson Dart. Wilson ultimately saw brief action in three more games, finishing the season with 831 passing yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
Wilson, 37, won a Super Bowl, made nine Pro Bowls and won 104 games with the Seattle Seahawks from 2012-21. He then spent two seasons with the Denver Broncos and one with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he made a 10th Pro Bowl in 2024.
