The Pittsburgh Steelers have not spoken at all with Russell Wilson, according to a report by Paul Schwartz. This all comes while Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan await a response to the offer they made to Aaron Rodgers.

“It seems like the Giants are focusing on Aaron Rodgers, but Russell Wilson is still being considered as a backup option. As for the Steelers, reports suggest they might be open to bringing Wilson back if talks with Rodgers fall through. However, a source clarified that the Steelers have not yet had any discussions with Wilson about a potential reunion.“

As a result, Russell Wilson is focusing his efforts on evaluating the interest from other teams. In this scenario, the veteran quarterback has scheduled visits in the coming days with the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants.

Who will be Steelers starting quarterback in 2025?

The Steelers want Aaron Rodgers to be their quarterback in 2025, and this is confirmed by Schwartz’s report, which mentions that there have been no contract talks between Russell Wilson and Pittsburgh.

However, if Rodgers rejects Mike Tomlin’s offer, it would be interesting to see if the Steelers reconsider Wilson as an option, especially since all the top quarterbacks would be off the market.
