Yahoo Sports NFL on Russell Wilson

Wilson was third-string QB for Giants in 2025; now free agent working as CBS analyst.

Russell Wilson spent the 2025 season with the Giants and made three starts before being replaced by Jaxson Dart. Wilson fell down the depth chart and became the third option behind Dart and Jameis Winston after suffering multiple injuries. Wilson is now a free agent and has paused his football career to join CBS Sports for its Sunday pregame show and co-host the show 'Set, Hut!' with Kyle Long, despite having received an offer to be a team's backup in 2026 according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Wilson had received an offer from the Jets to back up his friend and former teammate Geno Smith, who played behind him for three seasons in Seattle.
