The football career of Russell Wilson has taken an interesting turn in recent years. After spending the majority of his career with the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos where he had two up and down seasons. Now, there are rumors that the Broncos may be looking to move on from Wilson, and the Pittsburgh Steelers could be a potential landing spot for the nine-time Pro Bowler.
Wilson, who is now 35 years old, is facing a crucial point in his career. After watching a video of Wilson trying to sell himself to the Steelers, it’s clear that he is running out of time and options. This could potentially be Wilson’s last opportunity to start in the NFL, and he may still be a better option than any quarterback currently on the Steelers’ roster.
However, there are some risks involved in bringing Wilson to Pittsburgh. While he has had success in the past, Wilson hasn’t led a franchise to the postseason since 2020. Additionally, there are questions about whether he is still the same caliber quarterback he was five years ago. Wilson showed glimpses of his old form last year, but whether he can maintain that level of play for the next few years remains to be seen.
Adding to the drama is the speculation surrounding Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who some believe may be on the hot seat. Bringing in Wilson would only amplify the pressure on Tomlin, as there would be expectations for Wilson to give the Steelers’ offense a boost over their current quarterbacks, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph.
Ultimately, the decision to bring Wilson to Pittsburgh could be a make or break move for both Wilson and Tomlin. Wilson must prove that he still has what it takes to lead a team to success, while Tomlin’s future with the Steelers may hinge on the success of this next quarterback decision. As Wilson enters what could be the final chapter of his career, all eyes will be on him to see if he can rise to the challenge and lead the Steelers to victory.
