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, Starters Won't Play on Saturday

Thursday, August 13, 7:58 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen told the media that quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the team's starters will not play on Saturday when they face the New Orleans Saints. Coen wanted to emphasize getting first-team reps during their joint practice on Thursday, while resting for their preseason contest on Saturday. Lawrence has had a solid training camp and is far ahead of where he was last year at this time. His stellar finish to the season was well documented, as he led all quarterbacks in fantasy points from Week 9 on. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to select Lawrence for his solid rushing upside, weapons, and feel for Coen's offense.
