Russell Wilson's stay in Pittsburgh could be short-lived.
wide receiver Davante Adams reportedly requesting to be traded, the Steelers have been one of the teams linked to the Pro Bowler."Wilson, along with a conditional third-round pick, should be more than enough to acquire the 31-year-old Adams. The Raiders also have quarterback issues of their own, which Wilson could alleviate," Vasquez wrote.
Alas, a calf injury derailed Pittsburgh's plans with Wilson, and Mike Tomlin has been reticent to make a quarterback change with his team sitting at 3-1 at the quarter pole. Meanwhile, the Raiders sit at 2-2 and have struggled to create offensive consistency with Gardner Minshew. Aiden O'Connell was thrown into the mix for a time, but Minshew has since regained the starting job.
"It has to be Russell Wilson, right? He hasn't even played for the Steelers, and the way Justin Fields is coming along, he might not! Pittsburgh was hailed as shrewd for signing Wilson on a minimum contract, and sure, it was low risk. But it has also yielded no reward so far. I guess maybe Reddick with the Jets might be more disappointing, because he hasn't played for them either and cost more. But Wilson seemed to be the one who carried higher expectations.
