The potential move of Russell Wilson to the Pittsburgh Steelers has generated significant buzz and speculation, seemingly poised as a done deal.
Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler, is slated to meet with the Steelers organization, offering them the prospect of acquiring a veteran quarterback capable of elevating their offense to new heights.
However, recent developments suggest that the situation may not be as clear-cut as initially presumed. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that before his meeting with the Steelers, Wilson made a stop in New York for “an exploratory meeting” with the Giants.

This unexpected twist raises questions about Wilson’s potential landing spot. Despite the Giants’ recent investment in quarterback Daniel Jones, who struggled in 2023, their interest in Wilson signals a possible shift in strategy.
Fox Sports host Collin Cowherd outlined the rationale behind Wilson’s potential move to Pittsburgh, emphasizing the need for a star quarterback in a competitive AFC landscape. However, similar arguments could be made for the Giants, who are also vying for contention in the NFC East.
While the Giants have committed to Jones for the time being, they possess a potential out in his contract after the 2024 season, albeit with a manageable dead cap hit.
Considering these factors, the prospect of Wilson donning a Giants jersey and returning to the stadium where he secured a Super Bowl victory with the Seahawks appears increasingly plausible.
