Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson is finalizing a deal to join the CBS Sports team as an analyst, potentially marking the end of his storied 14-year career in the NFL.
Wilson, 37, found himself at a crossroads after his one-year deal with the New York Giants ended. Though he began last season as the starter, he was later demoted for rookie Jaxson Dart before landing in free agency once the season came to an end.
Since then, Super Bowl champion Wilson has not exactly been inundated with offers from teams and reports suggested he was weighing up a move into television.
And on Monday, it was revealed by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback was finalizing a deal to become a CBS Sports analyst.
He will join the network’s pregame show alongside the likes of James Brown, Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher, according to the report.
Meanwhile, according to Ian Rapoport, Wilson did have an offer to be a backup quarterback with one franchise, but turned it down to embark on this new venture.
