Overview
- Wilson told the New York Post on Wednesday that the Jets offered him a contract after his late‑April visit, and he is also considering television opportunities reportedly led by CBS’ The NFL Today.
- If he signs, he is expected to serve as a veteran backup to starter Geno Smith, reversing their old Seattle setup, with rookies Cade Klubnik plus Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook rounding out the Jets’ quarterback room.
- No contract terms have surfaced and there are no other known NFL offers, which positions New York as his clearest path to continue playing while networks court him for a studio job.
- Wilson is a 14‑year veteran and Super Bowl winner whose role and output dipped with the Giants in 2025, when he started three games, made six appearances, and threw for 831 yards with three touchdowns.
- His decision could shape both the Jets’ depth and CBS’ analyst lineup, with The Athletic reporting deep talks and Yahoo noting he already logged on‑air reps with the network during a 2025 bye week.
