Russell Wilson Expresses Strong Desire to Stay with Steelers

The veteran quarterback has begun preliminary contract talks with Pittsburgh as free agency looms in March.

Russell Wilson, a pending free agent, has publicly stated his wish to remain with the Pittsburgh Steelers and potentially finish his career there.
Wilson revealed during an appearance on 'The McAfee Show' that he and the Steelers have initiated early discussions about a potential contract extension.
The quarterback praised his teammates, the team's traditions, and head coach Mike Tomlin, calling Pittsburgh a 'special place.'
Despite a strong midseason performance, the Steelers ended the 2024 season with five consecutive losses, casting doubt on Wilson's return.
The Steelers may also consider re-signing Justin Fields, who is 10 years younger and went 4-2 as a starter during Wilson's injury absence.
