Just when it seemed like the Pittsburgh Steelers would have all of the leverage in potential contract talks with Russell Wilson this offseason, the situation was thrown a curveball by the Las Vegas Raiders.

NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo isn’t certain whether the Raiders (or Wilson) will be interested, but he does think it will have an impact on his situation with the Steelers regardless.
