On Monday, it was reported Russell Wilson would spend the 2026 season as an analyst for CBS. That news obviously suggested his playing days were over, and that has now been confirmed.

On Wednesday, Wilson posted a video to social media announcing his retirement. The 37-year-old initially expressed a desire to play in 2026, and he received an offer from the Jets. Instead of serving as a backup for another campaign, though, Wilson will turn his attention to broadcasting.

Today’s announcement marks the expected end to a playing career which began with tempered expectations. As a third-round pick, Wilson was...

Broncos

Broncos OLB Nik Bonitto said during a recent public appearance that he is studying the game closely in order to make a bigger impact in 2026 when he is injury-free.

“I learned a lot of lessons, I feel like, last year,” Bonitto said, via ESPN. “Just as far as battling through injuries, just to see what it’s like to actually have a protection plan around me and how to work through those things and continue to find ways to make plays and also help other guys make plays while I’m handling those chips and double-teams.”

*“I kind of...

The San Francisco 49ers have canceled their mandatory minicamp scheduled for June 9-10 after achieving perfect attendance during this week’s organized team activities (OTAs).

Head coach Kyle Shanahan made the decision as a reward for the team’s full participation and commitment throughout the offseason program, NBC Sports’ Matt Maiocco reported Wednesday.

“Coach Kyle Shanahan has canceled next week’s mandatory minicamp as a reward for 100-percent attendance this week and the work put in during the 49ers’ offseason program, a team official says,” Maiocco wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The 49ers are down to the wire in their offseason schedule, with...

The best quarterback in Seattle Seahawks history is hanging up the cleats and ready for life as an NFL analyst.

Russell Wilson announced his retirement after 14 seasons, of which his first 10 were with the Seahawks. Here’s his self-narrated retirement video, taking him throughout his football and life journey, for which he’s “forever grateful.”

Wilson is set to join CBS Sports as a studio analyst, replacing Atlanta Falcons great Matt Ryan, who’s returning to his old organization in a front office role. At the time of the reporting, Wilson’s future (or lack thereof) as an NFL player wasn’t confirmed,...

The Dallas Cowboys have improved a lot over the offseason. Another opinion that is shared is that nothing is won in the offseason. What looks and seems nice only goes so far, and ultimately the wins through the season and playoffs are what are going to define success.

Given that we still have time until any games will be played the idle hands have to do something. Recently those from the worldwide leader put together a list as ESPN assembled their initial Football Power Index rankings of 2026 and released them on Wednesday.

The Dallas Cowboys rank 11th.

Bears

Bears HC Ben Johnson is impressed by WR Luther Burden and the way he has made big plays during the offseason workouts so far. It sounds like Johnson will be involving Burden heavily in his offense when the time comes.

“I’m buying Luther Burden stock right now, just how he’s approached his offseason,” Johnson said, via NFL.com. *“It’s been electric. He showed up yesterday and had numerous explosive plays. I loved how in Phase 2 he was finishing every single rep that he took, and that really translated over to yesterday as well. So, he’s in a really...

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson has announced his retirement from the NFL.

In a post on his social media accounts, Wilson writes, “Thank you, Football. Love, #3.”

Wilson recently accepted a job with CBS as their newest NFL analyst where he will replace Matt Ryan on The NFL Today.

Wilson played one season for the Steelers in 2024, throwing 16 touchdowns to five interceptions and going 6-5 in the regular season and leading Pittsburgh to a wild card berth before losing to the Baltimore Ravens. He spent the 2025 season with the New York Giants, going 0-3 in three...

The Cleveland Browns will enter a new era this fall with first-time head coach Todd Monken and new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg.

It is not just the sidelines where change has occurred, as there will also be several new players from a promising rookie class led by offensive tackle Spencer Fano, to a rebuilt offensive line and defensive end Jared Verse, who was acquired this week as part of the trade that sent Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams.

Sadly, the quarterback situation remains a mess, but there is not much that Monken and general manager Andrew Berry can...

Green Bay Packers star linebacker Micah Parsons kept it real about his post-injury journey. Parsons was a part of a blockbuster trade that sent him from the Dallas Cowboys to Green Bay. Last season, he started off red hot for his new team. But a torn ACL suffered on December 14th against the Denver Broncos resulted in the Pro Bowl defensive star being sidelined for the remainder of the season. Now it appears that he won’t be back for week one of the NFL season in September, likely playing his first game in October.

And a quote obtained by Zach...

After 14 years, 10 Pro Bowl appearances, and a Super Bowl ring, Russell Wilson has officially called it a career, retiring from the NFL to pursue a new role as an analyst at CBS Sports.

Taking to social media to deliver the news on his own terms in a very well-produced video, Wilson broke down his path from a kid watching football with his father to a Super Bowl champion, thanking his coaches, teammates, and fans for giving him an incredible career.

“You’ve also given me the greatest gift of all: family. To every coach who believed in me, you...

The Miami Dolphins signed 10 of their 13 selections from the 2026 NFL Draft on Tuesday after creating more than $21 million in salary cap space through post-June 1 transactions. At that time, only first-round picks Kadyn Proctor (Alabama) and Chris Johnson (San Diego State), along with fifth-round selection Seydou Traore (Mississippi State), remained unsigned.

On Wednesday, the Dolphins finalized contracts with both Proctor and Johnson, officially bringing their first-round picks under contract. As of this writing, there have been no reports regarding the status of Traore’s deal.

Proctor has been working with the first-team offense at left guard during...

As part of this week’s blockbuster Myles Garrett trade, the Rams agreed to take on a contract which was the NFL’s most lucrative non-QB deal when it was signed. No immediate changes to it are forthcoming.

The Rams do not intend to adjust Garrett’s existing contract, Jourdan Rodrigue and Zac Jackson of The Athletic report. The pact – which was agreed to last year and resulted in a trade request being rescinded – runs through 2030. It carries an average annual value of $40MM, a figure which briefly represented the new high point for the EDGE market.

Thanks to the...
