NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 04: Russell Wilson attends the 2026 Met Gala celebrating "Costume Art" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 04, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/FilmMagic) It appeared as though Russell Wilson might have reached the end of his NFL career, but now there could be a late change to that plan. The New York Jets made an offer to Wilson to play for them this season, according to the veteran quarterback, and we absolutely *need* this to happen. This is because the alternative is truly terrifying. If Russ doesn’t play for the Jets in 2026 he’s mulling over opportunities to take a TV job where he’d be an NFL analyst. If that doesn’t scare you, then you obviously haven’t watched enough Russ off the football field — because while he was an incredible quarterback, with a potential Hall of Fame resume, the man is the entertainment equivalent of wallpaper paste when he isn’t on the field. The role of “extremely boring man” has already been filled in broadcasting by Tom Brady, who is objectively horrible as an announcer — and we don’t need another one to fill the void. Just imagine turning on the game to be greeted with this. The choice is either the train wreck of being subjected to Wilson during Jets games in 2026, or the train wreck of Wilson being on multiple NFL broadcasts for multiple NFL teams throughout the season. It’s the football equivalent of the Trolley Problem, and I’m sorry Jets, but y’all have to be the sacrificial lamb on this one. Eventually it seems inevitable that we’re going to have to deal with Russell Wilson in the booth calling games, because every TV executive has no imagination outside of hiring every ex-player, regardless of whether they’re skilled in broadcasting or not. It’s how we’ve ended up in a world where Tom Brady calls NFL games, Kendrick Perkins is an NBA analyst, and P.K. Subban is dredged up in hockey — all of whom are terrible for different reasons. Let’s delay this process as much as possible. Go to the Jets, Russ. Try to get everything back on track for one more run. Who knows, maybe you can get everything clicking again, play for another five years, and cement yourself as a Hall of Fame player. Wilder things have happened, just look at . You could be the reverse Darnold, Russ. The man who saves the Jets organization. You should definitely do that instead of taking a boring on analyst job where you have to sit in a studio all day and try to be entertaining.
