Wilson Announces Retirement from NFL

Wilson, a third-round pick in 2012, won the starting job as a rookie with the Seahawks and made nine Pro Bowl appearances in 10 seasons with the team. He won a Super Bowl and was twice the highest-paid player in the NFL. After being traded to the Broncos in 2022, he played for the Broncos, Steelers, and Giants before deciding to retire.

The Jets had shown interest in adding Wilson as a backup to Geno Smith, but ultimately Wilson chose a broadcasting career over continuing to play. His Hall of Fame candidacy will likely be debated in the years to come, with former Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty placing him in the second tier of NFL quarterbacks during their overlapping careers. newsindata.com
