I still know I can play ball at a high level, but in addition I even have a possibility to do TV (evaluation), so we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Because the 37-year-old Wilson noted, his next gig may come off the sphere. CBS is courting Wilson to switch <strong>Matt Ryan<\/strong>, who left his job as an analyst on <em>The NFL Today<\/em> to turn into the Falcons\u2019 president of football. If Wilson desires to proceed his playing profession, though, the Jets could also be his best bet. The previous Seahawk, Bronco, Steeler and Giant has not received any known interest from other teams this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson was a full-time starter over the primary 13 years of what could also be a Hall of Fame profession, but he fell right into a backup role for the primary time last season. The ten-time Pro Bowler and one-time Super Bowl champion opened 2025 because the Giants\u2019 starter after they added him on a one-year, $10.5MM guarantee. Nonetheless, just three games into the season, then-head coach <strong>Brian Daboll<\/strong> yanked Wilson in favor of <strong>Jaxson Dart<\/strong>. Although Dart went on to miss two games with a concussion, <strong>Jameis Winston<\/strong> began over Wilson in those contests. Wilson wound up attempting a meager nine passes over the Giants\u2019 last 14 games.<\/p>\n<p>Should Wilson stay in Recent York to sign with the Jets, it might likely be for a lot less money than he earned as a Giant. Wilson would also go in with the total understanding that he would proceed as a backup. <strong>Geno Smith<\/strong>, Wilson\u2019s friend and former backup in Seattle, is the rebuilding Jets\u2019 unquestioned starter. Fourth-round pick <strong>Cade Klubnik<\/strong>, <strong>Brady Cook<\/strong> and <strong>Bailey Zappe<\/strong> comprise the remaining of their signal-callers. Klubnik is a lock to make the roster, but Cook and Zappe will likely be in serious jeopardy if Wilson puts off his TV aspirations to affix the Jets and reunite with Smith.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Focused on joining the fifth team of his profession, free agent quarterback Russell Wilson visited the Jets last week.
