Russell Wilson is closing in on a deal to join CBS Sports' pregame show, moving toward television after also weighing a New York Jets offer to back up Geno Smith.
CBS is bringing in the 37-year-old quarterback to replace Matt Ryan, who left the network this offseason to become the Atlanta Falcons' president of football.
Wilson's playing future remains unclear—he has not confirmed retirement—but the move would pull a 10-time Pro Bowler off the market after one season with the New York Giants.
46,966 passing yards, 353 touchdowns and 5,568 rushing yards underline the career he would be stepping away from; since 2012, his 44 TD passes of 30-plus yards lead the NFL.
