Overview
- Wilson, who said Wednesday the Jets offered him a contract after a late-April visit, is still weighing a return to the field against a move into broadcasting.
- If he signs, he is expected to serve as Geno Smith’s backup, and the Jets sought Smith’s input on potential reserves, with Smith speaking highly of Wilson.
- His television option centers on CBS’s The NFL Today, which has an opening after Matt Ryan left for the Falcons’ front office, as reported by The Athletic.
- Wilson’s recent play frames the decision, as he was benched three games into 2025 with the Giants and finished with 831 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
- A Jets deal would likely be modest and could reshape the depth chart behind Smith, tightening roster chances for Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook while offering rookie Cade Klubnik a veteran mentor, with no agreement announced yet.
