Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson "was open to playing for teams like the Raiders and Patriots" before agreeing to a deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
Wilson announced Sunday night he's signing with Pittsburgh on what ESPN's Adam Schefter reported is a one-year, $1.2 million contract.
Both the New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders are in need of a quarterback this offseason. Schefter reported Sunday that New England is trading Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, while Jimmy Garoppolo is in all likelihood on the way out in Las Vegas.
