Will Wilson return for 2026?
By: Jake Rajala
Russell Wilson was benched in favor behind Jaxson Dart after a few games last season. He became the third string quarterback after Jameis Winston last season. We’re talking about the same Winston that had pre-game speeches where he eats his fingers. Obviously, Winston still threw 30 interceptions in a single season.
Wilson went looking like Steve Young with impressive throwing ability on the run to looking lost and somewhat slow to his old self outside of the pocket. He had a career low 106 rushing yards.
It’s been reported that he may stay in the Big Apple, as the Jets have a contract made for him. Furthermore, there is a path to become an analyst on TV. There are plenty of successful QBs on the TV. Most of these QBs are over 40 years old and not below 40 years old and washed up.
Wilson should be thankful that Malcolm Butler no longer plays in the league. I’m sure he has nightmares of the former Patriots CB that intercepted him on the goal-line and prevented Wilson from winning his second Super Bowl. If Wilson sought out wisdom from Eli Manning and Nick Foles on how to beat the Patriots, he may have come away with a victory.
Wilson may have only won one Super Bowl ring, but he is also fifth in passer rating of all time. He also has 9 playoff victories. Wilson also isn’t finished yet. He could build up his resume by winning more playoff games with the Jets.
