Ciara Wilson says she's proud of her husband Russell Wilson after the Super Bowl-winning quarterback announced his retirement from the NFL in a Wednesday post on Instagram.

The debate surrounding Russell Wilson's Hall of Fame credentials resurfaced immediately after the NFL quarterback announced his retirement on June 3. For ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith, however, the discussion is already over.

There was a time when Wilson looked like a career Seahawk, but as he aged, the former star became more of a journeyman making stops in Pittsburgh, Denver and beyond.

In an future alternative universe, Seattle Seahawks might be looking at a Russell Wilson return of Philip Rivers proportions.

Russell Wilson is joining CBS as an analyst on The NFL Today for the 2026 season and he chose that job over an opportunity to serve as the backup quarterback to Geno Smith with the Jets.

Russell Wilson has not appeared in an NFL game since being benched by the New York Giants in favor of rookie Jaxson Dart during the 2025 season. The 37-year-old enters the 2026 offseason as a free agent with his playing future still undecided.
