Report: Russell Wilson could be deciding between Jets or new career
The latest on the interesting idea of the Jets and Russell Wilson.
The New York Jets and Russell Wilson could still happen. However, there could be an interesting consideration for him in between the QB and Gang Green. Wilson, 37, had a free-agent visit in New York this past week with the idea of potentially backing up Geno Smith: The Jets, exploring the veteran backup QB market, had Russell Wilson in for a visit late yesterday, per source.
Nothing is imminent. #Jets are going through their process. — Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) April 28, 2026 Wilson is weighing options...
which evidently is between the Jets and becoming an analyst. According to The Athletic , Wilson has had talks with CBS Sports to join "The NFL Today" crew. Per The Athletic, Wilson would potentially take another former QBs position: If the CBS deal is finalized, Wilson will fill the spot vacated by Matt Ryan.
Ryan left CBS to become president of football for the Atlanta Falcons. The rest of CBS’ crew is host James Brown and analysts Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher. If Wilson joined the Jets, it would be his 15th NFL season.
