Former Wisconsin Badgers quarterback Russell Wilson's days in the NFL seem to be numbered.
Even though he just visited with the New York Jets, sources told The Athletic the Badgers alumn is in line to replace Matt Ryan on The NFL Today.
The weekly pregame show, airing nationwide on CBS, has a void to fill after Ryan became the Atlanta Falcons' president of football.
CBS declined comment, but Andrew Marchand confirmed there have been "lengthy talks" on Wilson ending his playing career and transitioning to television.
Wilson is far from the first professional athlete to go from playing to a broadcasting role, and he certainly won't be the last. For reference, fellow Badger alumn J.J. Watt now calls games for the same network.
The 37-year-old was a third-round draft pick by the Seattle Seahawks back in 2012. He came to Wisconsin for his senior season, where he threw for 3,174 yards and finished with 39 total touchdowns with just four interceptions.
