Scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, the 2025 Pro Bowl Games could be the last time Russell Wilson has the luxury of donning the iconic Black and Gold of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
While nothing is confirmed regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2025 quarterback plan, ‘Mr. Unlimited’ likely sees the writing on the wall—and he should use that to his advantage in the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.
Back in the 2023 Pro Bowl Games, former Raiders QB Derek Carr was in a similar position to Wilson and seized the opportunity to highlight that he still had far more left in the tank—dominating the Precision Passing challenge with an event-winning score of 31 points.
Following the performance, Carr infamously took a shot at the Raiders when former Steelers safety Ryan Clark asked if he had ever looked that hot in Las Vegas:
“Not that hot. That’s probably why I’m going somewhere else.”
Carr would ultimately get another starting opportunity with the New Orleans Saints in 2024, and Wilson would be wise to take this approach heading into the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.
