After being benched in favour of jarrett stidham for the final two games of the season, the denver broncos could very well move on from quarterback russell wilson. If denver reduces its losses with wilson, the 35-year-old will have a good number of applicants for a veteran signal-caller. According to draftkings sportsbook, the pittsburgh steelers will be “challenged from a competition standpoint going forward,” according to head coach mike tomlin last month. it’s unknown if the steelers will have an interest in wilson or not, but as of now, they are the betting favorite to land wilson.
As part of a five-year, $245 million contract with denver in 2022, the city owes wilson $39 million in guarantees for 2024. Holding on to him would cost $37 million in 2025. If the broncos cut wilson, they will face dead money charges of $85 million over the next two seasons. Wilson passed for 3,070 yards, 26 touchdowns, and eight interceptions on 66.4% passing this season. He was the nfl’s eighth-highest-rated passer (98.8). Wilson’s return to the broncos in 2024 is still open, according to broncos general manager george paton. Paton said, “the door remains open with russ.” “russ has had good talks with me, and sean payton has had good talks.
The door is open. We’ll go through the process, and we’ll meet with the coaching staff and scouting staff. We’ll meet with russ and his crew, and we’ll go from there.” will steelers make a play for russell wilson and justin fields? Justin fields of the chicago bears is a potential quarterback for the pittsburgh steelers. If chicago chooses a quarterback with the no. 0 pick out of ohio state in the first round, fields, the 2021 first-round pick, could be on the trade market in 2021. In april’s nfl draft, the first overall pick was selected.
The results have been mixed over the last three seasons. In his first season, chicago is 10-28. On 60.3% passing, he has passed for 6,674 yards, 40 touchdowns, and 30 interceptions. Fields’ greatest strength has been his playmaking ability with his legs, as he has rushed for 2,220 yards and 14 touchdowns. In 2022, he rushed for 1,143 yards, the second-most all-time by a quarterback (lamar jackson, 1,206 yards in 2019). Tomlin is a “big fan” of fields, according to adam schefter, who appeared on “the pat mcafee show” on monday.
