Russell Wilson’s tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers appears to be up after just one up-and-down year.
The Steelers signed Wilson to a one-year contract last year following his departure from the Denver Broncos, who took on $85 million in dead money after releasing him. But after Pittsburgh’s ugly late-season collapse and humiliating Wild Card Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens, it sounds like Wilson will be playing elsewhere in 2025.
Speaking on “Radio Row” at Super Bowl week in New Orleans, Fox Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer reported that the Steelers don’t plan to bring back Russell Wilson. Glazer also shut down the idea of Wilson joining former head coach Pete Carroll and the Las Vegas Raiders.
“That ain’t gonna happen (Wilson to Las Vegas),” Glazer said. “I don’t think that’s going to happen, either (a return to Pittsburgh). I think you’ll see a new start for Russell.”
Russell Wilson had Pittsburgh sitting pretty at 10-3 following a Week 14 home win against the Cleveland Browns. But the Steelers dropped their final four regular-season games, three of which were decided by double-digit points.
QB-needy teams that could eye Russell include the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, especially if they don’t end up drafting a signal-caller in round one. The Indianapolis Colts could look at Wilson to compete with inconsistent starter Anthony Richardson, too, and maybe the New Orleans Saints if they move on from Derek Carr.
