JUST IN: “A little birdie” informed Chad Johnson that Russell Wilson would be joining the Steelers.

Several quarterbacks are reportedly being considered by the Pittsburgh Steelers, including Russell Wilson. It’s anticipated that the current quarterback for the Broncos will be cut loose and then signed for the veteran minimum. DraftKings has the Steelers as the overwhelming favorites to sign Wilson, with a startling -250 chance of doing so.

A former All-Pro wide receiver now claims to have heard Wilson will sign a deal with the Steelers.

According to Chad Johnson, who was speaking on “Nightcap,” Russell Wilson will be joining Pittsburgh.

“I mentioned this many times, but a little birdie told me Russell Wilson is heading to the Steelers,” Johnson remarked.

In 2023, Wilson’s touchdown pass ratio was 26 to 8 interceptions. He would be the quarterback who is most likely to be acquired by Pittsburgh at the lowest possible cost. The Steelers wouldn’t even need to pay him close to anything because the league minimum wage is set to rise to $915,000 in 2024. Due to internal disagreements over his deal, Wilson was benched by Denver; it’s likely that Denver will just eat the dead money in 2024, allowing Wilson to become a free agent.
