It looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers are likely to move on from Russell Wilson, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. This decision isn’t entirely surprising, given Wilson’s inconsistent performance and reported rift with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
Garafolo’s comments suggest that the Steelers are leaning towards not re-signing Wilson, who’s set to become a free agent in March. This development could have significant implications for the team’s quarterback situation, with Justin Fields potentially emerging as the new starter.
It’s worth noting that the Steelers’ front office is reportedly split on the decision, with some members believing that Wilson still has value as a starter. However, with Wilson’s age (36) and declining performance, it’s possible that the team is looking to explore younger options.
As for Wilson’s future, there are rumors that he could be headed to the Las Vegas Raiders, where he’d reunite with former coach Pete Carroll. However, nothing is confirmed yet, and we’ll have to wait and see how the offseason plays out.
