Overview
- Wilson, who accepted the offer on Monday, June 1, is finalizing a deal to become an analyst on CBS’s The NFL Today.
- The role will put him on the network’s Sunday pregame desk with James Brown, Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher as he fills the vacancy created by Matt Ryan’s exit.
- Wilson visited the New York Jets in late April and declined a backup offer to Geno Smith in favor of the immediate TV opportunity.
- He has not filed formal retirement paperwork and outlets describe the move as a pause rather than an official end to his playing career.
- A Super Bowl winner and 10-time Pro Bowler, Wilson’s shift to television follows several short late-career stops and could shape his public legacy while removing one veteran option from the free-agent market.
