Recent reports indicate that the Pittsburgh Steelers are unlikely to re-sign quarterback Russell Wilson for the upcoming season. NFL insider Jay Glazer stated, “I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think we’ll see a new start for Russell somewhere else.”
In response to these developments, Wilson shared a message on social media, expressing his gratitude and optimism: “Love my teammates! Best days are ahead!”
As Wilson approaches free agency, the Steelers are exploring other quarterback options, including the potential signing of Matthew Stafford. The organization faces decisions regarding both Wilson and backup quarterback Justin Fields, with Steelers owner Art Rooney II acknowledging the challenge: “I think both of them see themselves as starters. I don’t know that they want to share the same job again next year.”
While the Steelers have not issued a specific five-word statement about Wilson’s future, the current indications suggest that the team is preparing to move forward without him.
