Russell Wilson Rumors: NFL Rivals Concerned Steelers QB 'Is Too Far Past His Prime'

Rival teams feel that Russell Wilson's age may be an issue for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2024 season, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic.

Per Howe, opposing organizations are concerned that Wilson is "too far past his prime to be a difference-maker" for the Steelers' offense.

After averaging the eighth-fewest passing yards per game in 2023, Pittsburgh completely overhauled its quarterback room in the offseason. Former starter Kenny Pickett was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, while backup Mitch Trubisky was cut. Reserve passer Mason Rudolph also left in free agency.
