Russell Wilson

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports “it seems like” the Steelers want to bring Russell Willson back for the 2025 season.

Rapoport even said the Steelers’ starter for 2025 “is almost certainly” on the current roster. That’s about as definitive as it gets this early in the process. Wilson signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in the offseason and is 5-1 as the starter after missing the first six games with a hamstring issue. Pittsburgh is currently atop the AFC North with a playoff spot all but secured already. Wilson didn’t have much of a market after being cut by the Broncos and took the veteran minimum salary to rehab his image in Pittsburgh. It’s worked better than anyone expected and he is well on his way to earning a sizable contract with the Steelers in the offseason.
