On Monday, the Denver Broncos made a move that everyone expected, with the team informing superstar quarterback Russell Wilson they intend to release him during this NFL offseason.
With two years in the books since the Broncos made the blockbuster trade with the Seattle Seahawks, Denver felt it had enough time to evaluate whether this partnership was going to work and ultimately came to the conclusion it was time to move on.
Once Wilson officially becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason, there’s expected to be a handful of teams that will show interest in the veteran quarterback, as another change of scenery could be all that is needed in order for him to get back on track.
Although there are some potential good fits for Wilson, the Pittsburgh Steelers have continually been mentioned as the best fit for the one-time Super Bowl champion, with the team already in win-now mode and needing a formidable quarterback to lead the way.
Former NFL player James Jones explained why the Steelers are the perfect fit for Wilson, via “Speak” on FS1.
“There’s one team that Russell Wilson should be going to, and that’s the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Jones said. “They are the only team that has been built the way Russell Wilson has been used to winning with. They are the only team.”

Despite the Steelers’ intention to build around Kenny Pickett, the team could choose to bring in Wilson at a massive discount and have the young quarterback learn behind the proven veteran for a year or two.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Steelers end up being Wilson’s next team, as it could be the best move for both sides.
