Steelers Reportedly Want To Re-Sign QB Russell Wilson, Per Insider

The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to make a decision after the season ends and it sounds like they already know what they want to do.

Pittsburgh has two really good quarterbacks in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Both have shined for the Steelers this season. Fields was 4-2 to begin the season as the team’s starter and Wilson is 4-1 since. Things are looking up but neither are under contract after the season.

While this is the case, Pittsburgh reportedly wants to re-sign Wilson, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.

“At this point, after conversations with sources with the team and around the league, my understanding is that (Aaron Rodgers) still wants to play in 2025, just not for the New York Jets,” Russini said. “Replacing Rodgers won’t be easy. The free-agent QB market is lacking, with Sam Darnold and Russell Wilson among the top names — though Wilson is expected to stay with the Steelers and the (Minnesota Vikings) could decide to keep Darnold if he’s willing to be a backup.

“Justin Fields, Derek Carr (whom the Jets pursued before Rodgers) and Daniel Jones are also potential targets, but none of them stand out as an ideal fit.”

Wilson has been great for Pittsburgh and the Steelers look like one of the top teams in the AFC, despite losing to the Cleveland Browns this week. It wouldn’t be a shock to see him stick around after the season.
