The announcement marks the end of a 14-season NFL journey that included 10 Pro Bowl selections, two Super Bowl appearances, and a Super Bowl championship.
Originally selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, Wilson quickly exceeded expectations and established himself as one of the league’s premier quarterbacks.

As for his next move, word is that the star – who is married to singer Ciara – is gearing up for a lucrative commentator run.
