Multiple teams are reportedly expected to have interest in veteran quarterback Russell Wilson if the Denver Broncos release him during the offseason.
During an appearance Saturday on SportsCenter, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler named the Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots as teams that could pursue Wilson in free agency:
