Wilson, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers, went 6-5 as the starter this last season. He missed the first six games of the season due to a calf injury, but when he took the starting job from Justin Fields, Wilson gave the offense more punch with his ability to launch the ball deep. However, the Steelers’ offense went cold in mid-December, with Pittsburgh failing to score over 20 points in its final five games, including the postseason, all of which resulted in losses.
This week, Steelers owner and president Art Rooney said that it’s “probably unlikely” the team will keep both Wilson and Fields on the roster in 2025.
With Wilson’s former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll taking the head coaching job with the Las Vegas Raiders, the coach said on Wednesday that it was too early to tell if Wilson could be an option at QB for the Silver and Black.
A couple days after Carroll’s comments, Wilson didn’t want to talk about a potential reunion as he repeated his desire to be with Pittsburgh.
“Pete’s going to be a great coach, obviously,” Wilson said. “He’s great at what he does. But I’m focused on the Steelers.”
Despite playing only 11 games in 2024, Wilson threw for 2,482 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in his first season with Pittsburgh. The 36-year-old Wilson, a Super Bowl-winning quarterback with Carroll and the ‘Hawks, has no plans to retire after 13 seasons.
“I’ve been fortunate to play 13-plus years, and I’ve got a lot more ball left in me,” Wilson said. “I think staying healthy is always the thing. You’ve got to be healthy to play your best, and I feel great right now.”
Whether Wilson re-signs with the Steelers or joins another squad remains to be seen. But he made it clear that he would like to play in 2025, and where he’d like to be.
I’m focused on the Steelers
As a die-hard Steelers fan, my attention is solely on the black and gold. With the NFL season in full swing, I find myself eagerly counting down the days until game day. The excitement of watching my favorite team take the field, the adrenaline rush of each play, and the anticipation of a victory keep me glued to the screen.
I proudly don my Steelers gear, from jerseys to hats to flags waving outside my home. I immerse myself in Steelers news, stats, and analysis, always staying up-to-date on the latest developments. Whether it’s a thrilling win or a tough loss, I ride the emotional rollercoaster of the season with unwavering loyalty.
As I cheer on Big Ben, JuJu, and the rest of the squad, I feel a sense of pride in being part of Steeler Nation. The camaraderie among fans, the traditions, and the history of the franchise all contribute to the unique bond we share.
So as the Steelers march towards another championship, I’ll be right there with them every step of the way, cheering them on with unwavering support. Here we go, Steelers, here we go!
