Russell Wilson reportedly finalizing deal to join 'The NFL Today' as analyst
- On Monday, June 1, 2026, Russell Wilson finalized a deal to join CBS Sports as an analyst on The NFL Today pregame show, replacing Matt Ryan, who left to lead the Atlanta Falcons front office.
- While Wilson is not filing formal retirement paperwork, he is taking a "pause" from his 14-year NFL playing career, according to the NFL Network, following a 2025 season with the New York Giants where he was demoted.
- During his 14-year career, Wilson accumulated 353 touchdown passes, 46,966 passing yards, and 10 Pro Bowl selections, including leading the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl XLVIII victory in 2013.
- Joining The NFL Today cast alongside James Brown, Nate Burleson, and Bill Cowher, Wilson declined an April offer to serve as a backup for the New York Jets to prioritize this media opportunity.
- The former quarterback remains open to joining a contending team later this season if injuries require veteran depth, having previously played for the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers.
