Russell Wilson Eyes Jets Backup Role

0:00It's April 28th, NFL News Today starts now, AI-powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Russell Wilson might be flipping the script, going from Geno Smith's starter ahead in Seattle to his backup with the New York Jets. After two seasons where Geno held the clipboard behind Russ, sources say Wilson visited the Jets on Monday night, and he's in the mix for that backup. Spot now. No other teams have shown real interest since Wilson hit free agency back in March, and at 37, he's still hungry to keep playing. He made it clear at the end of last season that his NFL story ain't over yet. Fans are buzzing about this twist, especially after Wilson's rough patch with the Giants, where he went zero in three as a starter before getting. Binch for rookie Jackson Dart. He completed 58% of his passes for 831 yards, with three touchdowns and three picks that year in 20. 25. Over his 14-year career though. Wilson stacked up 121 wins against 80 losses and one tie, 46,000 9, 166 passing yards,

1:06353 touchdowns, and just 114 interceptions. That's 10 pro bull nons and a Super Bowl 48 ring leading the Seahawks. If this Jets move sticks, it could give Wilson a steady gig to chase another title run while mentoring from the sidelines.
