Former Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, is entering free agency. Despite expressing a desire to remain with the Steelers, reports suggest the team may be moving on from Wilson and could pursue other options, such as Aaron Rodgers.
However, the Steelers appear ready to at least let the 10-time Pro Bowler test the market if not leave. The difference this time around is that the narrative around Wilson has shifted. Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay noted that Wilson sputtered down the stretch.
Kay also predicted that Wilson could make a fine option for the Indianapolis Colts.
Russell Wilson could fit the bill, even after sputtering down the stretch during his first year with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wilson, 36, completed 63.7% of his passes for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions during the 2024 regular season. He improved his interception and sack rate from his final season with the Broncos (2023). He also missed six weeks with a calf injury.
Richardson completed 47.7% of his throws for 1,814 yards with 8 TDs and 12 INTs in 2024.
Wilson signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Steelers after the Broncos cut him from his five-year.
