Russell Wilson has officially announced his retirement from the NFL and confirmed he will join CBS as an analyst for 'The NFL Today.'

Wilson made the announcement in a social media video posted on Wednesday. The former third-round pick in 2012 won the starting job as a rookie and made it to the Pro Bowl nine times in 10 seasons with the Seahawks. After being traded to the Broncos in 2022, he played for two seasons in Denver, one with the Steelers, and one with the Giants. chickenroad-game.rodeo

The Jets had shown interest in adding Wilson as a backup to Geno Smith, but ultimately Wilson chose a career in broadcasting over continuing to play. His NFL legacy includes winning a Super Bowl, being the highest-paid player twice, and defying expectations about his size as a quarterback.
