Russell Wilson Retiring From the NFL

Wednesday, June 3, 3:25 PM

Quarterback Russell Wilson is announcing his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, according to Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Wilson will end his playing career to join The NFL Today on CBS Sports for the upcoming 2026 season. The 37-year-old was named a Pro Bowler 10 times in his 14-year career and came away with one Super Bowl ring after the Seattle Seahawks took him with the 75th overall pick in the third round in 2012 out of the University of Wisconsin. Despite his size (5-foot-11, 206 pounds), Wilson quickly became one of the most dangerous dual-threat signal-callers in the league over the last decade-plus thanks to his scrambling ability and strong arm deep down the field. Mr. Unlimited will finish his outstanding career with 46,966 passing yards, 353 touchdowns, and 114 interceptions over 205 regular-season games with the Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, and New York Giants. Wilson spent the vast majority of his career (10 seasons) in Seattle, and he finished out with only six games played (three starts) in 2025 with the Giants before he was benched for rookie Jaxson Dart.

Trevor Lawrence News

Trevor Lawrence Trying to Become More Efficient Deep Down the Field

Thursday, June 25, 8:41 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had his best season as a pro in 2025 in head coach Liam Coen's first year with the team. The 26-year-old former first overall pick in 2021 out of the University of Clemson went 13-4 in the regular season in 2025 with 4,007 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 17 starts. He added a career-high 359 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 82 carries. Lawrence finished sixth in the league in passing yards and fifth in passing touchdowns. Expectations are now high in 2026 for a repeat in Coen's offense, and RotoBaller has Lawrence ranked just inside the top-10 fantasy QBs. With a strong offensive scheme helping him and plenty of weapons in the passing game, Lawrence is set up for success, but he's been working hard this offseason to try to improve as a deep passer and to improve his chemistry with receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who had a down sophomore campaign. Lawrence completed just 36.1% of passes 20-plus yards down the field in 2025. If Lawrence and the Jags can improve their efficiency downfield, a true breakout for the signal-caller could be coming.
