Russell Wilson’s future with the Pittsburgh Steelers is uncertain, and things just got more complicated. According to reports, Wilson had a strained relationship with Steelers’ offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, which could impact his chances of returning to the team.
Despite this, Wilson still has the support of head coach Mike Tomlin, who was instrumental in bringing him to the Steelers last offseason. Tomlin’s endorsement could be a significant factor in the team’s decision-making process.
The Steelers are projected to have around $52 million in cap space, which would allow them to afford Wilson’s contract. However, with Justin Fields also becoming a free agent, the team may choose to prioritize re-signing one of them or exploring other options.
It’s worth noting that the Steelers’ front office might consider letting Wilson walk, given his inconsistent performance last season. Whatever the outcome, it’s clear that Wilson’s future with the Steelers is hanging in the balance.
