"You've been my joy, my peace, my safe place," Wilson said. "You taught me discipline, faith and resilience. How to keep believing no matter the circumstances. You've given me purpose and opportunity. Opportunity to inspire others and create change, to continue to evolve the game, not just for me, but for the next generation of ballers. You've also given me the greatest gift of all: family.

"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. … I thank you, football. I thank you, I thank you, I thank you. I am forever grateful. Love, 3"

Wilson’s last season was with the Giants in 2025, where he started the first three games before being benched for rookie Jaxson Dart. Drafted in the third round by the Seattle Seahawks in 2012, he led them to a Super Bowl win in his second season. He also played for the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers, amassing 46,966 passing yards and 353 touchdowns over 14 seasons.

Wilson is moving into broadcasting as an analyst on CBS Sports’ The NFL Today, replacing Matt Ryan. He will work with host James Brown, Nate Burleson, and Bill Cowher. This continues his media work, including prior CBS appearances while with the Giants.

In the video, he thanked coach Pete Carroll, teammates, the Seattle community, and his family as he embraces this next chapter in his career.
