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:
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. The former Super Bowl champion would serve as a more experienced backup option to fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik.
Jets Wire will continue to provide updates throughout the 2026 offseason.
