Russell Wilson Says Jets Offered Contract as He Weighs TV Move

Active TV courting puts his next step at odds with a likely backup role in New York.

Overview

  • Wilson told the New York Post on Wednesday that the Jets offered him a contract after a recent visit to their facility.
  • If he accepts, he would serve as the veteran backup to starter Geno Smith on a depth chart that also includes rookie Cade Klubnik.
  • TV networks are courting him for an analyst job, with CBS reported to be interested in adding him to The NFL Today.
  • Reports note no known offers from other NFL teams this offseason, which leaves the Jets as his clearest path to keep playing.
  • Wilson, 37, is coming off a 2025 Giants stint with three starts and career-low totals before a benching for rookie Jaxson Dart.
