The Giants are on a late-season bye week after their 33-15 “Monday Night Football” loss to the Patriots.
It is part of another lost season with the Giants sitting at 2-11 and already firing head coach Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.
It’s extremely unlikely the 37-year-old Wilson will be a part of the solution beyond this season after signing a one-year, $10 million deal in the offseason.
Wilson lasted three games as the starter before being demoted to second-string behind promising rookie Jaxson Dart.
When Dart went down with a concussion in Week 10 against the Bears, the Giants opted to start Jameis Winston in his place.
With Dart now back starting, Wilson has been relegated to the third-string emergency quarterback.
The appearance in the CBS studios could be a hint at what the future holds for Wilson with his NFL career nearing the finish line.
While he will likely will pursue a chance to continue playing, he will be hard-pressed to find another starting job.
Wilson has seemingly enjoyed the spotlight that comes with being a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and is married to singer Ciara.
The power couple shares three kids together — Sienna, Win and Amora — and co-parent Future Zahir from Ciara’s first marriage with rapper Future.
Wilson has been protective of his public image and a move into media seems like a natural fit.
The CBS studio show regularly features host James Brown with analysts Matt Ryan, Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher.
The network will air the Steelers-Ravens showdown for first place in the AFC North at 1 p.m. ET.
