Russell Wilson Confirms Jets Offer as He Weighs TV Role

The choice underscores a late-career pivot point for both player and team.

Overview

  • Wilson told the New York Post on Wednesday that the Jets offered him a contract after his late-April visit and that he is weighing it against television opportunities.
  • If he signs, he would be a backup to starter Geno Smith on a depth chart that also includes rookie Cade Klubnik and veterans Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook.
  • The Athletic has reported CBS is courting Wilson for a studio spot on The NFL Today after Matt Ryan left the show for a Falcons front-office job.
  • His market reflects a 2025 downturn with the Giants, where he played six games with three starts and posted 831 yards and three touchdowns.
  • A TV move would likely take the top veteran option off the board for New York, while a Jets deal would add experience to a thin room without locking in a starting competition.
