NFL Insider Jay Glazer, a close friend of Mike Tomlin, reported that Wilson will neither join Pete in Las Vegas nor play for the Steelers.

Glazer: Russell Wilson won’t be back with Steelers

It looks like the Steelers are moving on from Russell Wilson

The Steelers have 59 players under contract and they have cap space. So it is an interesting choice by the Steelers if they do choose to not give Wilson another shot. I think the thinking with the Steelers is that they have to find a way to upgrade the WR position while fortifying the rest of the team before thinking about QB.

Another possibility would be that Mike Tomlin saw the ceiling of Wilson's plays and wanted more.

Maybe Wilson saw the ceiling of Mike Tomlin

Russell Wilson evolved from a superstar to much traveled journeyman in three seasons.

Maybe Wilson and Tomlin both saw the ceiling and realized there was no stairs nor elevator

At this point in Wilson's career, beggars can't be choosers, don't you think?

He’ll probably end up on a downtrodden team with either a very young quarterback or just crappy quarterbacks and he’ll be in the mix. I have to say it’s really sad to see because he was someone that I really put on a pedestal for so many years.

Ok let me rephrase that, Russell sees a stairway to heaven and Tomlin sees the road to hell

I was more interested to hear Justin Fields wasn't coming back either. I'd take Fields over Howell.

Seems increasingly unlikely he makes the HOF.

Russell sees a stairway to heaven, Tomlin sees a highway to hell

Yes

This!

I dont know why this is surprising

And as they say, the fact that there's a Highway to Hell and only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers...

Exactly. Hes a journeyman qb who will likely be on 1 year deals with a different team every year until he retires...unless Pete does him a solid.

I appreciate you!!

Pittsburghs in trouble. They have zero plans for the QB position. They are going to be forced to pickup a cheap veteran FA and i'm not even sure who's on the market except for Darnold (he'll cost to much) and Winston.
