Russell Wilson has achieved plenty during his NFL career - but the Seattle Seahawks legend may struggle to find a new team this offseason if let go by the Pittsburgh Steelers

Russell Wilson's future remains up in the air as he prepares to hit free agency after one year with the Pittsburgh Steelers. One NFL analyst believes Wilson could land on an NFC contender that needs an insurance policy for its young quarterback.

A veteran NFL insider's update on the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback decision appeared to confirm an offseason rumor about Russell Wilson.

If you don't think this class of free agent quarterbacks is weak, look no further than ESPN's rankings of the best free agent options at each position. That's where you'll find exactly zero quarterbacks who made the cut for their first three tiers: no franchise players, no Pro Bowl caliber starters and no capable starters, either.

Last season was a roller coaster ride for the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks. Russell Wilson suffers an injury very early in the offseason, opening the door for Justin Fields to start the season. He did just that and went 4-2 in his first six games.

The Pittsburgh Steelers seem to be leaning increasingly toward Justin Fields as their quarterback in 2025. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler gave the latest update on Fields and the Steelers on Thursday, saying there is plenty of internal optimism that a deal will be made for Pittsburgh with Fields.

With Sam Darnold likely gone and J.J. McCarthy unproven, Wilson could be a steady presence in Minnesota’s offense. McCarthy could also gain from sitting behind Wilson for a season after missing the entirety of his rookie season due to a torn meniscus.

He’s gone from 10 seasons with one franchise to journeyman signal-caller. Which NFL team will veteran quarterback Russell Wilson suit up for in 2025?

🏈 Pittsburgh Steelers strong safety DeShon Elliott made 108 of 111 tackle opportunities in 2024 – a 97.3% tackle efficiency rating – the highest rating in Next Gen Stats history (since 2018 and minimum 100 tackle opportunities). Eliott balled out for the Steelers. Highly underrated. #Steelers #NFL pic.twitter.com/HKSrifafj4

"Russell Wilson is already putting in the work," NFL reporter Dov Kleiman said while reposting a video of Wilson's workout. "Year 14 will be ELECTRIC," he added with a googly eyes emoji. Fans didn't seem convinced as they watched video of Wilson going through the motions on the training field.
