NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the veteran quarterback will be a part of the CBS Sports team as an analyst for their Sunday pregame show and more.
It's not known if the 10-time Pro Bowler is retiring from the NFL or if he's taking a pause in his football career.
Earlier last month, Wilson told the New York Post he received an offer from New York Jets, but he said he was trying to figure out the next steps in his career.

He began last season starting for the Giants and finished behind rookie Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston. The 10-time Pro Bowl pick also is out of starting options and doesn’t appear to be drawing much interest as a backup even though he was supportive of Dart in that role last season.
Wilson played 10 seasons with the Seahawks, where he threw 46,966 yards and 353 touchdowns, then spent two seasons with the Denver Broncos, one season with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants.
