With rumors swirling about who will remain the starting QB for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, it is difficult to determine whether the team will move forward with the younger Justin Fields or the aging Russell Wilson.
Wilson had alluded to the ‘plan’ being to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, but insider Gerry Dulac made it known that this original plan may be out the window—in favor of a new plan involving Fields as the signal-caller.
Little has been confirmed, but in the latest update, Wilson once again made his intentions clear, as well as his career aspirations, on The Pat McAfee Show:
“Going into Pittsburgh, it was a special place for me. Hopefully, I get to play there a lot longer.”
Wilson had previously stated that he hopes to retire with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his desire at 36 years old to remain with the Black and Gold only adds more fuel to the proverbial 2025 QB fire.
Russell Wilson says on the @PatMcAfeeShow that his goal is to ‘stay with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and hopefully, retire there.’
