Russell Wilson announces he is retiring from the NFL and moving into broadcasting. Multiple outlets report that the 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback confirms the decision after completing his 14th NFL season, which ended with the New York Giants. Several sources say Wilson agreed to join CBS Sports as an NFL analyst in the United States, marking a new career step following his playing career.
The reports describe Wilson’s upcoming shift to television commentary roles and note that the retirement announcement follows recent media coverage suggesting he was finalizing a deal with CBS. One outlet references an emotional farewell message alongside the retirement confirmation, while others focus on his transition to an analyst position.
Wilson’s playing résumé is also cited: over 14 seasons, he accumulates 46,966 passing yards, 353 touchdown passes, and 114 interceptions, according to one source. Across coverage, outlets characterize the move as a planned career pivot into sports broadcasting rather than an unexpected change, with agreement on his destination and timing.
