Russell Wilson seems to be getting farther away from signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers or the New York Giants. However, according to a report from Jeremy Fowler, an unexpected team could give him another chance in the NFL, possibly as a starting quarterback.
âThe Cleveland Browns loom large here. They had Russell Wilson in for a visit last week. There is some interest from the Browns in bringing Russell Wilson in with a contingency plan of like a Carson Wentz or another free agent. Then, of course, theyâre picking second overall and can draft a quarterback.â
Last year, Wilson signed a one-year contract with the Steelers, thinking it was the ideal time to lead the franchise to the Super Bowl. However, with a finish of five consecutive losses, a return to Pittsburgh seems very unlikely.
Will Russell Wilson get a contract extension from Steelers?
At the moment, the Steelers do not plan to offer Russell Wilson a contract extension. Nevertheless, the fact that Jameis Winston signed with the Giants and Rodgers is still hesitant could change the outlook for Russ, according to Fowlerâs information.
âRussell Wilson still has at least two hands in the fire with Cleveland and Pittsburgh. The Giants, he is considered an option for a while now, weâll see what changes there.â
