Russell Wilson, former quarterback of the New York Giants, is not ready to retire. During an appearance on Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, the veteran confirmed that he wants to play until he is 40 years old.

ā€œI wanna play a few more years for sure. I think for me, I’ve always had the vision of getting to 40 at least. I think the game is different. Quarterbacks, we get hit. It’s not, you know, we get hit hard, but, there’s certain rules. I mean, back in the day when I started, bro, it was you just getting clobbered. So, I feel like the game allows you to, you know, live a little longer I guess.ā€

After winning the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson did not find success with teams like the Denver Broncos or the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last season, in what could have been his last chance as a starting QB, he struggled with the Giants and Jaxson Dart emerged as the future for the franchise.
