However, it was reported on Saturday by insider Dianna Russini that Rodgers was more interested in signing with the Vikings, seemingly leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers QB-less. In what can only be described as perfect timing, Wilson began to post several Steelers stories, starting with a 'Happy Birthday' message for HC Mike Tomlin.

The Pittsburgh Steelers let quarterback Russell Wilson hit free agency, but that didn't stop him from reacting to DK Metcalf's engagement.

Pittsburgh Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II said his "preference" was to re-sign starting quarterback Russell Wilson or backup Justin Fields for 2025. Therefore, some assumed the Steelers would bring Wilson back after Fields agreed to join the New York Jets in free agency.
