Russell Wilson Reaffirms Desire to Stay with Steelers as Free Agency Looms

The veteran quarterback expresses his commitment to Pittsburgh despite rumors linking him to a potential reunion with Pete Carroll in Las Vegas.

Russell Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback, has repeatedly stated his preference to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2025 NFL season.
Steelers owner Art Rooney II acknowledged the team will likely choose between Wilson and Justin Fields, as retaining both quarterbacks is considered improbable due to salary cap constraints.
Wilson, 36, is set to become an unrestricted free agent and is seeking a multi-year deal after signing a one-year veteran minimum contract with Pittsburgh last season.
Rumors have linked Wilson to the Las Vegas Raiders, where his former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was recently hired, but Wilson has downplayed the speculation and emphasized his focus on the Steelers.
The Steelers face a critical decision at quarterback, weighing Wilson's experience and leadership against Fields' youth, potential, and lower cost in a tight salary cap scenario.
