Aqib Talib Says Russell Wilson Should Retire for a TV Role

Wilson is considering a Jets backup offer against a reported chance to join CBSThe NFL Today.

Overview

  • Talib urged Wilson to “do your TV thing” and said a player who must debate playing has reached the end of the road, according to recent interviews.
  • Wilson told the New York Post he is weighing a contract from the Jets to serve as Geno Smith’s backup.
  • CBS has been reported as a leading suitor for Wilson to join The NFL Today after Matt Ryan left for a front-office job with the Falcons.
  • Earlier interest from the Chiefs cooled as they acquired Justin Fields from the Jets to back up Patrick Mahomes, as reported by the Post.
  • Recent performance trends factor into the decision since Wilson lost the Giants’ starting job to Jaxson Dart last season and has posted near career-worst quarterback ratings in recent years.
