DISPLAY OF PITTSBURGH STEELERS’ STARPLAYER CONTRACT TERMINATION FOLLOWING THE…
Russell Wilson is still with the Denver Broncos, but as the NFL Combine heats up, there’s a chance we’ll see action soon as NFL free agency approaches. The nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback will eventually be placed on waivers, as teams throughout the league realise, even if the Broncos would like to trade Wilson rather than cut him.
There are a number of possible free agency fits for Wilson this offseason, but there could be a few teams that appeal to the 35-year-old QB more than others. As a team that is never truly out of the race, the Pittsburgh Steelers could be in that mix.
As to DraftKings’ most recent betting odds, the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently the front-runners to sign Russell Wilson in the summer.
When you finish with the fifth-lowest scoring offence in the NFL, like the Steelers did, changes are needed. Arthur Smith’s appointment as offensive coordinator should help the offence improve, but do the Steelers have a franchise quarterback? Fan excitement for the Steelers regarding Wilson’s signing shouldn’t get too high. Betting insiders don’t know any more than the general public does, but it’s still an intriguing prospect to consider.
The results of the eye test indicate no. Although both Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett showed glimpses of their brilliance, does anyone really believe they could compete with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs?
In Pittsburgh, a player like Wilson might be viewed as a revelation in this situation. Mike Tomlin has always had a strong defence, but the offence hasn’t lived up to expectations since Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement.
For the Steelers, taking a bet on the former Super Bowl champion’s remaining energy is a low-risk move, particularly if he intends to pay Denver $38 million in 2024 for signing for the veteran minimum in order to get revenge on the Broncos.
