Russell Wilson Confirms Jets Offer, Weighs TV Role

The veteran is considering a backup spot behind Geno Smith that would address the Jets’ need for experience.

Overview

  • Wilson, who disclosed Wednesday he has an offer from New York, visited the Jets’ facility in late April on a free‑agent workout.
  • He is also in talks with TV networks for an analyst job, with CBS reported as a leading option to join its NFL studio show.
  • If he signs, he is expected to back up Geno Smith, with rookie Cade Klubnik plus Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook currently next on the depth chart.
  • Interest around the league has been limited after the Giants benched him following an 0-3 start in 2025, despite a career that includes about 47,000 passing yards, 353 touchdowns and a Super Bowl win.
  • A choice either way could trigger follow-on moves, as reports indicate the Jets may cut from the QB room if Wilson signs and CBS would fill a vacancy on The NFL Today if he opts for TV.
