Russell Wilson, a ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback, confirmed his retirement from the NFL to take up an analyst role with CBS Sports in America.

According to the filing, Wilson said in a video posted on his social media accounts, “As I enter this next chapter with CBS Sports and ‘The NFL Today,’ I’m so blessed to continue doing what I love most – being around the greatest game in the world.”

Wilson played 14 seasons after being taken by Seattle in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft out of NC State.

He spent his first 10 seasons with the Seahawks, leading them to their first Super Bowl championship in the 2013 season.

Wilson was traded to Denver after the 2021 season and spent two rocky years with the Broncos before playing one season in Pittsburgh and another for the New York Giants.

He threw for 46,966 yards, with 353 touchdown passes and 114 interceptions.

Wilson joins Peyton Manning and Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks to throw at least 20 touchdown passes in each of their first three seasons and is one of seven quarterbacks to be selected to 10 Pro Bowls.

He is the only player in NFL history with at least 30 touchdown passes and fewer than 15 interceptions in four straight seasons.

Wilson had three seasons with at least 30 TD passes and 500 yards rushing, which is the most in NFL history.

Wilson is the shortest starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl.

He will replace Matt Ryan, who joined the Atlanta Falcons as president of football after two seasons on “The NFL Today.”

Wilson had considered returning for a 15th season, telling journalists last month that he was mulling an offer to join the New York Jets and back up Geno Smith.

His video featured highlights from his career and footage of him visiting patients at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

It ended with him thanking his wife, Ciara, and the sport he dedicated his life to.

Wilson said, “I thank you, football. … I am forever grateful.”
