Free agent QB Russell Wilson is in “deep discussions to go into television,” with CBS’ “The NFL Today” considered the “favorite as the two sides have had lengthy talks,” according to sources cited by THE ATHLETIC. Wilson has “worked with CBS on a few occasions over the years,” including during a Giants bye-week last season. Wilson would “will fill the spot vacated by” Matt Ryan, who left CBS to become president of football for the Falcons. Sources said CBS “has also shown some interest” in incoming Pro Football HOFer Luke Kuechly, who “has dipped his toes in national work” while also being the radio analyst on Panthers games (THE ATHLETIC, 5/1).
