Russell Wilson Retires, Joins CBS Sports

Russell Wilson, the 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback and Super Bowl champion, announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday. He will join CBS Sports as an analyst for 'The NFL Today,' the network confirmed. Wilson, who spent 14 seasons in the league, played for the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, and New York Giants. His retirement video, posted on social media, thanked his family, friends, and fans, emphasizing his gratitude for his football journey. 'I’m so blessed to continue doing what I love most: being around the greatest game in the world,' Wilson said. His wife, singer Ciara, shared an emotional tribute on social media, praising his career and their journey together. Wilson’s retirement follows a trend of former NFL players transitioning to broadcasting, including Mike Tomlin, who will join NBC’s 'Football Night in America.' CBS also announced the addition of former offensive lineman Kyle Long to its on-air team. Wilson’s career stats include 46,966 passing yards, 353 touchdowns, and 114 interceptions. He was drafted in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Seahawks, where he won a Super Bowl in 2013.
