Russell Wilson visits Jets, also considers TV broadcast booth gig: report

Following a visit with the Jets, former Giants quarterback Russell Wilson is reportedly considering leaving football to work in television.

The 37-year-old Super Bowl winner has also spent time with the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks, the latter being where he enjoyed his greatest success. Russell led the Seahawks to the NFL championship in 2014 during a blowout win at MetLife Stadium. His 14 seasons in the NFL almost certainly make him a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame.

The Athletic says Russell has had lengthy discussions with the CBS pregame show β€œThe NFL Today” about what could be his next job.

That program is said to be the frontrunner to put him in a broadcast booth if he hangs up his cleats. Russell spent last year with the Giants and talked to the Jets about maybe playing another season in East Rutherford, N.J., according to that report.

At CBS he’d replace Matt Ryan, who left the network to be the new president of football for the Atlanta Falcons.

Wilson has experience as a broadcaster. He did a game for CBS last season while playing for the Giants. The Ohio native wouldn’t be the first person in his household to enter show business. His wife is Grammy Award-winning singer Ciara.

Neither CBS nor Russell commented on The Athletic’s report.
