REPORT: New ‘Sleeper Option’ Emerging for Steelers QB Russell Wilson.THANHDUNG

The quarterback situation this offseason with the Pittsburgh Steelers is complicated. But it’s potentially about to get muddier with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson.

NFL insider Fowler reported on ESPN’s SportsCenter on Feb. 16 that while Wilson’s preference is still to be back with the Steelers in 2025, the New York Giants are emerging as a potential suitor.

“I’m told he still loves Pittsburgh, had a great experience there, that would be his priority if he’s ranking teams to potentially sign with,” Fowler said, via Bleacher Report’s Scott Polacek. “Now, the wild card there will be Justin Fields and see if the Steelers prefer to bring back the younger option.

“But Wilson himself should have options too. Talking to some Ex-Seattle aides, they said that Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson have pieced it up, so maybe Las Vegas could shake out for him.

“I’m also told the Giants are considered a sleeper option for Russell Wilson.”

This echoed what Fowler said on SportsCenter about the Giants and Wilson days earlier.

“The New York Giants, I’m hearing, are a potential sneaky team for Russell Wilson,” said Fowler on Feb. 14.

Wilson will be an unrestricted free agent in March. Steelers backup signal caller Justin Fields will reach free agency next month as well.

If the Steelers are interested in Wilson or Fields, they are likely to bring back only one of them.
