Super Bowl Winning Quarterback Russell Wilson Retires From NFL To Join CBS Sports Media Team

Posted : 04 June 2026

Ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson has officially announced his retirement from professional football after a decorated 14-year career in the NFL. The veteran signal-caller shared the news through an emotional three-minute video posted on his social media platforms. Wilson confirmed his transition into sports media by joining CBS Sports as a studio analyst on the network's popular pregame show: "The NFL Today."

The 37-year-old enjoyed his most successful professional spell with the Seattle Seahawks; he famously guided the franchise to two consecutive Super Bowl appearances. He secured a historic championship victory during the 2013 season with a dominant performance against the Denver Broncos. Wilson expressed deep gratitude to former Seattle head coach Pete Carroll for drafting him despite widespread critics labeling him too short for the league.

Statistically, Wilson leaves an indelible mark on the sport as one of its most efficient dual-threat quarterbacks. He accumulated 46,966 passing yards along with 353 touchdown passes and 114 interceptions across his career. He stands alone as the only player in NFL history to record at least 30 passing touchdowns and fewer than 15 interceptions in four consecutive seasons. Following his legendary decade in Seattle, he had shorter playing stints with the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, and New York Giants.

The former Walter Payton Man of the Year winner admitted he strongly weighed playing a 15th professional season. He revealed he held concrete contract discussions regarding a backup quarterback role with the New York Jets before deciding to retire. Wilson will now replace former quarterback Matt Ryan on the CBS broadcast team; Ryan recently vacated his television role to become the team president for the Atlanta Falcons.
