Russell Wilson to the Jets? Veteran QB drawing consideration as backup

Russell Wilson is hoping to continue playing during the 2026 NFL season. Could he find that opportunity with the New York Jets?

Wilson is "being considered" for a backup role with the Jets, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports. The Jets hosted the 37-year-old quarterback on a visit to their facility on April 27, but "no contract is imminent" between the two parties.

Wilson is a 14-year NFL veteran who spent the 2025 season with the New York Giants. He opened the season as the Giants' starting quarterback but was benched in favor of Jaxson Dart after posting an 0-3 record, finishing the season completing 58% of his passes for 831 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Wilson has largely operated as a starter across his time with the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers and Giants. The only time he failed to start a Week 1 game for his team was in 2024, when he missed the first six weeks of the Steelers' season while dealing with a calf injury.

However, Wilson is being evaluated for the backup role with the Jets, who have committed to 35-year-old Geno Smith as their starter for 2026. Cimini reports that Smith "advocated for Wilson when team officials solicited his input on potential backups," as the duo have a strong relationship from their two seasons together with the Seahawks in 2020 and 2021.

Here's more to know about the Jets' quarterback situation as they evaluate Wilson for a potential role with the team.

Jets QB depth chart

The Jets currently have four quarterbacks on their 90-man roster. Below is a look at the projected pecking order within the unit:

Geno Smith

Cade Klubnik

Brady Cook

Bailey Zappe

Smith is the only member of the group with extensive starting experience. He has posted a 42-56 record across 98 NFL starts while the remainder of the group has combined to start 13 games.

The Jets selected Klubnik in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Clemson product – who has good arm talent and mobility – will be the team's top developmental quarterback and potential successor for Smith, but New York may not want the rookie to be its top backup during his first NFL season.

Meanwhile, Cook and Zappe are more bottom-roster or practice squad candidates. Cook, a 2025 undrafted free agent, struggled across four winless starts with the Jets last season, completing just 57.5% of his passes for 739 yards, two touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Zappe's numbers are marginally better than Cook. The 2022 fourth-round pick from Western Kentucky has a 4-5 career record and has completed 62.1% of his passes for 2,223 yards, 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

All that's to say that the Jets' interest in Wilson is sensible. They could use an experienced backup to provide cushion in case Klubnik isn't immediately ready for the No. 2 job.

Russell Wilson stats

Wilson has made 202 starts during his NFL career to date. Below is a look at his performance across those games:

Record: 121-80-1

Completion %: 64.6

Passing yards: 46,966

Passing TDs: 353

INTs: 114

Yards per attempt: 7.7

Passer rating: 99.3

Carrries: 1,042

Rushing yards: 5,568

Rushing TDs: 31

Yards per carry: 5.3

Wilson also has 9-8 record in the NFL playoffs and has completed 61.5% of his passes for 4,056 yards, 27 touchdowns and 12 interceptions across that sample size. He helped lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl 48 win over the Broncos and has been voted into the Pro Bowl 10 times.

Russell Wilson career earnings

Wilson has earned just over $315.86 million as an NFL player, per Spotrac.com. More than half of that ($181.36 million) came from the Seahawks while another $122.79 million came from the Broncos.

Wilson's career earnings presently rank as the fifth-most among NFL players all-time. Below is a full look at the league's top-five earners:

Matthew Stafford: $408.32 million

Aaron Rodgers: $394.81 million

Tom Brady: $332.96 million

Kirk Cousins: $321.69 million

Russell Wilson: $315.86 million

When it comes to year-round layering, a quarter-zip pullover simply can’t be beaten. In the summer, they make for an ideal “just in case” piece to slip into when the nights turn cool, in the winter they add a touch of street style to your basic sweater rotation, and in every season, the adjustable neckline ensures they will be flattering on a wide array of shapes and sizes. No wonder, then, the look has become the hottest top layer of 2026.

Maybe its the way the quarter zip blends an athletic feel with a classic preppy vibe (perfect for that a la Love Story ‘90s Kennedy style) or maybe its a LinkedIn-core reaction to years of athleisure dominance, but whatever the reason, there’s no denying the the quarter zip has been stealing the spotlight on social media, as well as the runway. Their wearable, polished practicality were on full display at the Chanel Métiers d’Art show in the NYC subway, (and then again at the Cruise 2026-2027 show) where they paired equally well with slouchy, lightwash jeans as with glittering statement skirts.

With that in mind, we’ve sought out the most on-trend quarter zips from every category, from lightweight summer knits to cozy cashmere numbers to keep you covered all year long—matcha not included.

Maddy’s Glam Aesthetic Is a High Point of EuphoriaEddy Chen/HBO

"Hearst Magazines and AOL may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Euphoria’s third season is having an outsized influence on fashion. Recent TikTok data revealed that searches for “Maddy Perez fashion” are up over 1,000 percent, and searches for “Alexa Demie look” have surpassed 1.8 million. Fans who once raced to buy eye gems and I.AM.GIA catsuits are now chasing the character’s evolved “feral glam” aesthetic. Costume designer Natasha Newman-Thomas—who previously collaborated with Sam Levinson on The Idol—often uses the term “vixen” to describe Maddy’s look.

Here, you’ll find key style takeaways from Maddy’s season 3 wardrobe, along with details on where to shop exact pieces. Like Jacob Elordi’s Bottega suits, the character’s high-priced designer looks—spanning archival pieces from Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, and Christian Lacroix, as well as a Bob Mackie piece from Cher’s personal wardrobe—have sparked criticism online. Still, Maddy’s aesthetic isn’t entirely out of reach. As the Old Hollywood sunglasses, dramatic wedding-guest dresses, and anti–clean girl makeup ahead prove, there are plenty of ways to channel her look without the couture price tag.

An Olive Special-Occasion Dress

Patrick Wymore/HBO

The barely-there olive-green dress that Maddy wears to Nate and Cassie’s wedding is said to be a custom piece that Newman-Thomas created specifically for the scene. Thankfully, labels like Reformation, Mango, and Meshki have special-occasion dresses draped in similar shades of green.

Old Hollywood Accessories

Eddy Chen/HBO

In one of the new season’s most talked-about scenes, Maddy wears a dramatic Ernest Baker fur coat poolside. But it’s her oversized Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses, fur-trimmed leather gloves, and Prada Mary Jane pumps that give the look an air of Old Hollywood. The accordion-style Gabriela Hearst bag that appears in the scene comes with a hefty $3,000 price tag, but the sophisticated Verafied Allure bag she briefly carries in the same episode is under $250.

A Black Bra Under a Sheer White Blouse

Marcel Rev/HBO

Maddy proves that, with the right styling, the fashion faux pas of wearing a black bra under a sheer white top can look surprisingly chic. If you’re going to invest in any designer item worn in the show, make it the timeless Balenciaga Rodeo bag she carries in the first episode of the season.

Anti-Clean-Girl Makeup

Eddy Chen/HBO

“Maddy’s looks are grown-up and modern, like frosty eyes and lips, tan, sparkly, and high-contrast, feral glam moments,” Euphoria’s lead makeup artist, Donni Davy told ELLE. “We used a lot of Half Magic. The Glitter Pucks in all the shades, the dual-ended lip liners, and the Magic Drip Glitter Lip Glosses were big.” Colourpop’s Eyeshadow Stix also made a cameo in an Instagram tutorial for Maddy’s poolside “revenge makeup” in episode 2.

- Shoshana Bean recalled taking over a day early for Idina Menzel on Broadway in her role as Elphaba after Menzel broke her ribs falling through an escape door onstage.

- Bean said she felt "horrible" and was worried the audience was "going to hate" her for taking over early.

- Menzel returned to the Gershwin Theatre stage to take her official final bow the day after her painful injury.

The adage "the show must go on" rang true for Shoshana Bean days before she formally stepped in for Idina Menzel in *Wicked*.

During a Tuesday appearance on the *Dinner's on Me With Jesse Tyler Ferguson* podcast, Bean, who is starring on Broadway in *The Lost Boys*, spoke about taking over for Menzel as the originator of Elphaba on Broadway. Bean was days away from taking over the role in an official capacity in January 2005 when tragedy struck.

"We were upstairs, me and Megan [Hilty] because Megan was a standby with me at the time. We're with the stage manager and we're just stepping through reviewing things because I'm going to take over on Tuesday. And again, I'd been on a million times," she said. She was then told she might be going onstage sooner than expected.

Menzel had injured herself, falling through an escape door onstage and breaking her ribs. There was a period of uncertainty about if *Wicked *was going on at all that afternoon for the Saturday matinee. "They didn't want to move her. They had to wait for the ambulance to come. And all the while they're just holding the show. I think they held for like 45 minutes. I could be wrong," Bean said.**

"And so we held and we held and nowhere in my mind am I like, 'I got to go get ready and go on,'" she continued. "And sure enough at one point they're like, 'We're finishing the show. Go.' And they got me ready in 7 minutes." Bean said the makeup team had to "slap the paint on" and went on in time to sing "For Good" and bow with the cast at the show's conclusion, which she called "ludicrous."

Bean said the audience "had no idea what happened" and didn't know about Menzel's injury, but it was announced to the crowd that she was stepping in for the remainder of the matinee show that afternoon.**

She was convinced Menzel would be back for the evening's show, since she only had a few shows left in her run as Elphaba and people had flown in from all over to see her. Bean was told, "Kiddo, you might as well consider tonight like your takeover."

Bean said she felt "horrible" and was worried the audience was "going to hate" her, but "it was the complete opposite." Menzel came back for her final bow at the end of what was supposed to be her last show the following evening.

"It was the best possible thing they could do because you can't let this woman not take her final bow after — I don't know why I'm getting emotional about it — but, like, putting everything you put into something to originate it and take that ride. You live for that last weekend for like a release and to let people just like give you your flowers," she said.

"For her to be able to walk on and have that last moment and it was such a great honor," Bean concluded.

Menzel spoke about the injury and her conclusion as Elphaba before passing the torch to Bean. "At the same point in the show when I fell through the stage, two minutes before the end, she left the stage and allowed me to come and finish the show, which I could barely do," she told *ELLE* in March 2025.

"That was the end of my Broadway* Wicked* run, and I got to take some flowers and have a nice send-off. I’ll never forget that Shoshana did that for me, because not everyone would," she added. "I love her to this day for that."**

Anonymous tipline started after Sandy Hook school shooting has fielded nearly 400,000 reports Dave CollinsWed, April 29, 2026 at 4:43 PM UTC 0 Less than two years after her sixyearold son was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, Nicole Hockley found herself in an Ohio church basement, teaching the inaugural class of a program she hoped would prevent future school shootings.

Anonymous tipline started after Sandy Hook school shooting has fielded nearly 400,000 reports

Dave CollinsWed, April 29, 2026 at 4:43 PM UTC

Less than two years after her six-year-old son was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, Nicole Hockley found herself in an Ohio church basement, teaching the inaugural class of a program she hoped would prevent future school shootings.

Born from the profound grief of one of the nation’s worst mass shootings, the initiative, known as "Say Something," teaches students to identify warning signs among their peers and urges them to report any red flags to an anonymous tip system or a trusted adult, aiming to avert violence.

Since that first class in a Columbus church, the program has been presented to thousands of students nationwide. It has generated nearly 395,000 tips, covering concerns from threats of school shootings and suicides to drug use and bullying. Its effectiveness was starkly demonstrated last year when a tip led to the arrest of an Indiana student who had threatened a shooting at her school.

Hockley, whose son Dylan was among the 20 first graders and six educators who died at Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012, articulated her profound motivation.

"It’s been very successful," she said. "Having had direct experience of both of my children being in a school shooting and my youngest one dying, I feel very compelled to honor that legacy by doing all that I can to prevent future acts of violence and school shootings."

Trainers with Sandy Hook Promise, a non-profit founded in early 2013 by Hockley and other relatives of the Newtown victims, have travelled to all 50 states. They show students how to spot signs of potential violence or self-harm – which can include threats on social media, an obsession with weapons, or behavioral changes – as well as the importance of speaking up before something bad happens.

For a generation of students accustomed to news of mass killings and regular lockdown drills, the "Say Something" program offers a tangible way to take action.

Addison Hunt, a 17-year-old junior at Hanover High School in Massachusetts, reflected on this sentiment: "School shootings are definitely very scary, and they do run through your head as a high school student. But I think being able to have these outlets where you can report things definitely makes me feel a lot safer."

During a recent session at Hanover High, instructor Keely Rogers, a 28-year-old former high school music educator, highlighted the critical role students play. Research indicates that nearly all school attackers exhibit warning signs beforehand, most commonly on social media.

"You are going to become the eyes and ears of your school through social media, right?" she told the students. "Your teachers and staff don’t follow the same people as you. They can’t keep an eye out. They can’t keep everyone safe."

She cited an Instagram post, pulled from a real tip, that read: "Don’t come 2 school tomorrow if you wanna live." Rogers noted someone reported the post within three minutes, leading to swift action.

Ava Khouri, Hanover’s senior class president, noted a key takeaway: overcoming the fear of being perceived as a "tattletale."

"I think that definitely students are wary to bring these issues up to adults and administration in the school, because they’re worried they’re either going to be made fun of for tattling or getting someone else in trouble," she said. "So I think that this program definitely gave light to the fact that you’re not a tattletale if you’re helping someone and you’re helping others."

Both Hunt and Khouri confirmed they had reported troubling behavior to parents and educators prior to learning about the program.

The "Say Something" anonymous reporting system is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by trained crisis counsellors, who refer serious situations to police and school officials. While common tips include concerns about bullying, drug use, harassment, and self-harm, the system also receives alarming reports that are immediately escalated to law enforcement.

One such instance occurred last year in Indiana, where a tip reported a student planning a shooting at Mooresville High School, near Indianapolis, on 14 February – the anniversary of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in Parkland, Florida.

Trinity Shockley, 18, was arrested on February 12. According to a police report, the tipster, a friend, revealed Shockley’s obsession with the Parkland shooter and access to an AR-15 rifle.

Shockley’s social media postings included a chilling message: "Parkland part two. Of course. I’ve been planning this for a YEAR."

She later pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and received a 12-year prison sentence, despite her lawyer’s assertion that she would not have carried out the plan.

Sandy Hook Promise asserts that its program and reporting system have prevented shootings in communities like Mooresville, and have also intervened in potential suicides.

Hockley concluded with a poignant reflection on the program’s necessity: "So it’s bittersweet, because I wish this had existed before Sandy Hook."

If you are experiencing feelings of distress, or are struggling to cope, you can speak to the Samaritans, in confidence, on 116 123 (UK and ROI), email jo@samaritans.org, or visit the Samaritans website to find details of your nearest branch

If you are based in the USA, and you or someone you know needs mental health assistance right now, call or text 988, or visit 988lifeline.org to access online chat from the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. This is a free, confidential crisis hotline that is available to everyone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

ANKARA, April 29 (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that the peace process aimed at ending Turkey's decades-long conflict with ‌Kurdish militants was progressing in a "positive atmosphere", after criticism from pro-Kurdish ‌lawmakers.

Speaking in parliament, Erdogan said recent steps had brought the process to a more sensitive stage following the approval of a parliamentary commission report outlining a roadmap for legal reforms alongside the disbandment of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

His remarks come a day after the pro-Kurdish DEM Party issued one of its strongest criticisms ‌yet of the government, ⁠accusing it of acting in a "hesitant, timid and stalling manner" despite what it described as a historic opportunity for peace.

Erdogan ⁠rejected such criticism, saying: "There is a positive atmosphere, what needs to be done is clear, and the process is progressing as it should." He added that those drawing pessimistic conclusions about the process were "acting on illusions, not facts".

"With the ‌approval of the commission report, we have reached a crossroads that needs to be managed more carefully," Erdogan said, adding that the ruling People’s Alliance aimed to navigate this stage with the support of other political parties.

The PKK, designated a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the United States and the ‌European Union, halted attacks last year and said in May it had decided to disband and end its armed struggle, following a February 2025 call by its jailed leader ‌Abdullah Ocalan.

However, a standoff remains over next steps, with Ankara saying disarmament must be verified before further legal or political measures, while Kurdish political actors have called for faster reforms.

The conflict, which began in 1984, has ‌killed more than 40,000 people and has had spillover effects in Iraq and Syria.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander trolls Dillon Brooks with 'Cancun on 3' jersey after Thunder sweep

Chris CwikWed, April 29, 2026 at 2:10 PM UTC

Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has a history of getting under his opponent’s skin. Throughout the team’s series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Brooks tried his best to do that with Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but his attempts didn’t seem to land.

After the Thunder swept the Rockets, Gilgeous-Alexander went so far as to compliment Brooks, saying the Rockets instigator was a “really good guy.” The two even shared an embrace on the court and some friendly words when the series was over.

But that friendliness didn’t last long. On Tuesday, Gilgeous-Alexander dropped a photo dump on Instagram which featured an image of Brooks wearing a “Cancun on 3” jersey.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s caption was also a nod to Brooks’ villain persona.

Brooks definitely took notice of the post, responding to it by saying, “Sounds like a ghost writer.” Brooks signed that comment with “The Villain.” Rapper Drake also commented, because of course he did.

Overall, this feud — if you can call it that — feels pretty tame, especially considering Brooks’ history.

Despite Brooks’ presence, Gilgeous-Alexander still managed to put up some excellent numbers in the Thunder’s four-game sweep of the Suns. Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 33.8 points in the series … and refused to engage in Brooks’ trolling tactics.

With the Thunder moving on, Gilgeous-Alexander can now focus on leading the team to back-to-back titles. After dominating in the regular season and the playoffs last year, the Thunder turned in a similarly strong performance this season, once again earning the top seed in the Western Conference.

While Brooks and the Suns turned in a good year, the team wound up as the No. 8 seed in the playoffs, meaning the road will only get tougher for Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder from here.
