Steelers Rumors: Russell Wilson Had 'Great' Meeting With PIT amid NFL Free Agency

Pending free agent quarterback Russell Wilson had a "great meeting" with the Pittsburgh Steelers days after it was announced he would be released by the Denver Broncos, according to CBS Sports' Josina Anderson.

Wilson spoke with Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith "for hours" Friday, Anderson reported.

She added that Wilson had reached out to some Steelers players in advance of the meeting.

After benching Wilson for the final two games of his tenure with the Broncos, Denver plans to take on $85 million in dead cap in order to release the quarterback on March 13.
