Russell Wilson has bid farewell to his 14-year NFL career, announcing his retirement at just 37 years old. The former Seattle Seahawks quarterback, known for his Super Bowl XLVIII championship win, has joined CBS Sports as a studio analyst for its Sunday 'NFL Today' broadcast.
Wilson's decision to retire was widely anticipated, with reports emerging that he was set to join CBS Sports in May. Despite still showing passion for the game, Wilson opted for the stability and security of a high-paying broadcasting role over the uncertainty of serving as an NFL backup quarterback.
With a career passer rating of 99.3, the fifth-highest in league history, Wilson's portfolio firmly places him among the game's elite. He ranks among the NFL's most accomplished passers, sitting inside the top 20 all-time in completions, passing yards, and touchdown passes.
Wilson's career highlights include earning Pro Bowl honors in nine of his first ten seasons and guiding Seattle to a Super Bowl title in just his second year in the league. Although his final seasons were less dominant, there is little doubt his career achievements will earn him a place in Canton.
