News of the mutual interest between the Pittsburgh Steelers and veteran free agent quarterback Russell Wilson that has a tentative meeting scheduled was a bit of a surprise Thursday morning.
On paper, if the Steelers were to sign Wilson, the presumption is he would come in as the starting quarterback, even at 35 years old and on his third team in four years. After all, Wilson has a Hall-of-Fame resume and is coming off a strong 2023 season with the Denver Broncos, throwing for 3,070 yards and 26 touchdowns to just eight interceptions.
But for former Steelers cornerback Bryant McFadden, that shouldn’t be the assumption.
