Chad Johnson suggests that the Pittsburgh Steelers are poised to sign Russell Wilson, according to the former rival of the team..

Johnson, a former wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, shared on the Nightcap podcast that insider information indicates Russell Wilson, the current quarterback for the Denver Broncos, will join the Steelers in the upcoming offseason.

Despite Wilson still being under contract with the Broncos, speculation suggests he may be released before free agency begins. The Broncos would incur a significant dead cap hit, but reports indicate they are willing to move on from Wilson.

While the Steelers have expressed confidence in Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett as their primary options for quarterback this offseason, rumors persist about potential high-profile signings. Alongside Wilson, other quarterbacks like Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins, and Jimmy Garoppolo have been mentioned as possible fits for the Steelers.

Wilson, aged 35, boasts an impressive record of 115-72-1 as a starting quarterback in the NFL. Last season, he recorded a 7-8 record with the Broncos before being sidelined due to injury guarantees late in the year.
