Report: Russell Wilson in talks to go into television

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.
