Russell Wilson Retires from NFL

Russell Wilson officially announced his retirement from the NFL in a social media video posted on Wednesday. The former Seahawks quarterback, a third-round pick in 2012 who won the starting job as a rookie, made 9 Pro Bowls in 10 seasons with Seattle.

After being traded to the Broncos in 2022, Wilson had two seasons in Denver, one in Pittsburgh, and one with the Giants. The Jets had interest in adding him as a backup, but ultimately Wilson chose television over continuing to play. His Hall of Fame candidacy is expected to be debated in the years to come. biznow.biz
