Russell Wilson Lands NFL Broadcasting Gig During Bye Week

Super Bowl champion and 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson is keeping himself busy during his bye week.

Wilson signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract with the New York Giants this past offseason. Although he was named the Week 1 starter, it didn't take long for him to get benched. He was replaced by Jaxson Dart after a Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. During his three starts with the G-Men, he threw for 778 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Despite losing the starting job, Wilson has been a true pro for the Giants. He also made it clear that he's not ready to retire from professional football.

“I love it here. I love my teammates. I want to see us turn it around,” Wilson told reporters. “I know God’s got a great plan for me. … I want to see it through. I haven’t asked for a release or anything like that. I want to be here.”

Wilson could be planning post-NFL career.

On Thursday morning, CBS announced that Wilson will join its Week 14 crew as a guest analyst.

"Thrilled to have 10x Pro Bowler, 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year and Super Bowl Champion @DangeRussWilson on to talk ball this Sunday," NFL on CBS wrote on social media.

This could be an audition for Wilson, who certainly has the knowledge to analyze the quarterback position.

We've already seen Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Tony Romo and Matt Ryan make the jump from player to broadcaster. It wouldn't shock us if Wilson is next in line.
