Quarterback Russell Wilson is finalizing a deal to become a CBS Sports analyst, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Wilson, who also had an offer on the table from the New York Jets to join the team as a backup to Geno Smith, had acknowledged last month to the New York Post that he was considering joining CBS Sports.

Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection who won a Super Bowl and the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year Award during his career, now is set to leave the NFL as a player to become an analyst on the network's pregame show that includes James Brown, Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher.

It is unclear if Wilson is retiring as a player or simply taking a pause on his playing career.

He will replace Matt Ryan with CBS after the former quarterback left the network this offseason to return to the Atlanta Falcons as the organization's president of football.

Wilson, 37, has thrown for 46,966 yards, 353 touchdowns and 114 interceptions during a career which includes 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, two with the Denver Broncos, one with the Pittsburgh Steelers and last season with the New York Giants.

His passing yardage is the fifth most in the NFL since 2012, when he was selected by the Seahawks in the third round of the 2012 draft, trailing only Matthew Stafford (56,676), Tom Brady (49,235), Aaron Rodgers (48,908) and Ryan (48,554). His passing touchdowns total trails just Rodgers (395) and Stafford (363) during that time span.

Wilson also ranks fourth among quarterbacks with 5,568 career rushing yards, trailing only Lamar Jackson (6,522), Mike Vick (6,109), and Cam Newton (5,628).

He also is known for his "moon ball" and has been one of the best deep-ball throwers. Since 2012, he leads all players with 44 touchdowns on passes at least 30 yards downfield.

Wilson holds the Seahawks' franchise records for passing yards (37,059) and touchdown passes (174).
