According to Gerry Dulac, there’s buzz that the Steelers are eyeing Russell Wilson, the former Pro Bowl quarterback. Wilson, who will soon be let go by the Broncos, is permitted to negotiate with teams this week.
Despite already having Kenny Pickett, a former first-round quarterback, on their roster, Pittsburgh seems intrigued by Wilson’s potential. Last season, Wilson showcased his skills with Denver, completing nearly 67% of his passes, tallying 26 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions. His proficiency on the field aligns well with the Steelers’ needs.
Last season, Pittsburgh struggled with quarterback consistency, yet managed a 10-7 record. Signing a veteran like Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler, could significantly bolster their chances.
The AFC North is recognized as one of the NFL’s most competitive divisions, and Wilson’s potential arrival could elevate the competition further. While Wilson isn’t flawless, Pittsburgh’s strong team culture combined with his experience could provide the stability they need at quarterback. Signing him could be a smart move for the Steelers.
