Tannenbaum Suggests Steelers Trade Wilson to Vikings

As the Pittsburgh Steelers approach the regular season, former NFL GM Mike Tannenbaum has proposed trading quarterback Russell Wilson to the Minnesota Vikings, following an injury to rookie QB J.J. McCarthy. Tannenbaum believes this move could benefit both teams, allowing Wilson to compete with Sam Darnold in Minnesota while the Steelers could sign Ryan Tannehill as a backup to Justin Fields. Despite Wilson's starting position, his performance has been hampered by a calf injury, leading to Fields gaining ground in the competition for the starting job. Steelers' offensive coordinator Arthur Smith confirmed Wilson's limitations due to injury but noted his commitment to play. The decision on Pittsburgh's starting quarterback is crucial for their playoff aspirations, with some analysts believing Wilson is their best chance for success this season. The Steelers will finalize their roster ahead of their last preseason game against the Lions.
