The initial reporting from ESPN’s Adam Schefter Tuesday night regarding Russell Wilson and an interesting situation with the Pittsburgh Steelers certainly raised some eyebrows. Now, that same reporting is receiving a ton of pushback.
Schefter, an insider for ESPN, reported that an NFL Executive said to him that he could see the Steelers releasing Wilson — who signed a one-year, $1.21 million deal in free agency — before the start of the 2024 season if he is outplayed in training camp and the preseason by backup quarterback Justin Fields, whom the Steelers acquired from the Chicago Bears in a trade last Saturday.
