Russell Wilson Reveals Shocking Retirement Decision After Disappointing 2025 Season

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

Despite the tough season and all the speculation, it seems like Russell Wilson isn’t going anywhere. Some thought he had already landed a new job after his appearance as an analyst during the New York Giants’ bye week. Instead, he wants to keep playing.

When asked about his intentions for the future, the former Seattle Seahawks star admitted that he’s not going anywhere. He wants to keep playing, and he still thinks he can play at a high level:

“Oh yeah, I’m not blinking,” he said, per the Daily Mail. “I know I’m [what I’m] capable of. And I want to be able to do that again and just be ready to rock and roll and be as healthy as possible and be ready to, you know, play ball.”

Wilson lost his starting spot to rookie QB Jaxson Dart. Then, he was demoted to QB3 behind fellow veteran Jameis Winston.

His subpar performances made him a bit of an infamous figure at MetLife Stadium. Even in brief cameos on the field, the fans were ruthless in booing him off the field.

Even so, it seems like Wilson was far from full strength during the season. He revealed that he sustained a hamstring injury in the overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys. However, he kept it as a secret because he didn’t want to lose his spot:

“I couldn’t tell anybody,” he said. “I had to go play on it just because I knew the circumstance, I had to play on it. I actually ended up going to the Dallas Mavericks facility training and kept it quiet, just try to get treatment on it.”

Russell Wilson’s Days As A Starter Are Over

Wilson had an outstanding career. He’s a former Super Bowl champion, and no one can take anything away from him. That being said, it’s hard to believe many teams will be lining up to sign him in the offseason.

He failed to win any of his three starts, completing just 58 percent of his passes for 831 yards with three touchdowns and three picks.

Wilson hasn’t been the same since he left the Seattle Seahawks four years ago, and with failed stints with the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, and now the Giants, this might be the end of the line for him. In the end, the decision to retire might not even be his.
