Up until early December and the final stretch of the season that saw the Pittsburgh Steelers lose five-straight games including their Wild Card playoff appearance, Russell Wilson seemed to be the short and maybe even intermediate-term plan for the Steelers at quarterback moving forward. While it is now unclear if Wilson will be on the roster in 2025, it was just a couple months ago that the Steelers were reportedly considering a rarely-used contract tender to retain his services.
