Despite the Justin Fields deal, it is anticipated that Russell Wilson will start at quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024.
However, an NFL executive doesn’t think the team will support him at all.
Wilson talked about the $1.12 million veteran minimum contract he signed with Pittsburgh after being cut by the Denver Broncos in an interview with ESPN’s Adam Schefter for “NFL Live.” He reached out to a number of league executives, and at least one of them told him the Steelers could cut him if he did not show up for training camp.
Schefter said, “There is no obligation, loyalty, or commitment to any of these guys.” They didn’t spend much money on either of them. I even heard from an executive that they could consider cutting Russell Wilson before the season if Justin Fields performed better than him throughout training camp.”
Wilson’s contract with the Broncos is so low because they still owe him $38 million this season even though he isn’t playing for them.
