Russell Wilson Taking a Job with CBS for 2026 Season

Monday, June 1, 10:16 AM

Ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson is reportedly finalizing a deal with CBS to become part of the network's in-studio pregame show alongside James Brown, Nate Burleson, and Bill Cowher, according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The Super Bowl champion and 2020 Walter Payton Man of the Year was said to have been weighing his options in a backup role, but will step away from the field for at least the 2026 season. Wilson has started over 200 NFL games, most recently with the New York Giants, but is best remembered for his time with the Seahawks. Should the move into the media signal his official retirement from the game, his 46,966 career passing yards would rank 16th in league history.

Tua Tagovailoa News

Tua Tagovailoa Lacks Long-Term Appeal in Dynasty Leagues

Thursday, May 7, 7:10 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has the potential to be a short-term option in fantasy football, but he lacks long-term upside in dynasty leagues. Tagovailoa signed with the Falcons this offseason after being released by the Miami Dolphins. He may open the 2026 season as Atlanta's starter since Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is still recovering from his torn ACL, but the job belongs to Penix when he's healthy. Recent comments from president of football Matt Ryan seem to indicate that Penix's recovery is either on schedule or behind schedule, so Tagovailoa could be a QB2 option through the first few weeks of the season. Once Penix returns, though, Tagovailoa will head to the bench, where he'll face an uphill battle to reclaim any starting role, at least as long as he remains in Atlanta. He was the QB9 in 2023, but he's coming off a disastrous 2025 campaign in which he threw for 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
