Steelers Face Decisions on Wilson's Future

Russell Wilson, the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback, expressed his desire to re-sign with the team for the 2025 season despite a challenging end to the 2024 season with a five-game losing streak. Wilson, who joined the Steelers on a one-year deal after a tumultuous stint with the Denver Broncos, returned from a calf injury mid-season to lead the team to a 6-1 record in his first seven starts. Despite his efficiency, including 270 passing yards and two touchdowns in a playoff loss to the Ravens, the Steelers' offense struggled, particularly with their rushing attack. As Wilson enters free agency, he remains optimistic about his future with the Steelers but acknowledges the decision also hinges on the organization's plans. The team faces significant decisions, including the potential re-signing of Justin Fields, who led the team to a strong start during Wilson's initial absence. The Steelers' front office must decide whether to retain Wilson, who remains committed to playing several more years, or pursue a shift in strategy.
