The New York Jets<\/a> and Russell Wilson<\/a> could still happen.<\/p>\n

However, there could be an interesting consideration for him in between the QB and Gang Green.<\/p>\n

Wilson, 37, had a free-agent visit in New York this past week with the idea of potentially backing up Geno Smith<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Wilson is weighing options… which evidently is between the Jets and becoming an analyst. According to The Athletic<\/a>, Wilson has had talks with CBS Sports to join “The NFL Today” crew.<\/p>\n

Per The Athletic, Wilson would potentially take another former QBs position:<\/p>\n

If the CBS deal is finalized, Wilson will fill the spot vacated by Matt Ryan<\/a>. Ryan left CBS to become president of football for the Atlanta Falcons. The rest of CBS\u2019 crew is host James Brown and analysts Nate Burleson<\/a> and Bill Cowher.<\/p>\n

If Wilson joined the Jets, it would be his 15th NFL season. The former Super Bowl champion would serve as a more experienced backup option to fourth-round rookie Cade Klubnik<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jets Wire<\/a> will continue to provide updates throughout the 2026 offseason.<\/p>\n
