Russell Wilson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was non-committal on both quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields for next season and talked about seeing who is available at the position on the outside. Both Wilson and Fields will become free agents in March, and the Steelers want to see what else is out there before committing to them for the 2025 campaign. Wilson said he'd like to return to the Steel City, but also acknowledged it's not up to him. The 36-year-old Wilson missed most of training camp and the first six games of the season with a calf injury but eventually returned and won six of his first seven starts before losing the final five games. The Steelers averaged 28 points and 372 yards of offense in his first seven starts but dropped to 14 points and 263 yards in five straight losses to close the year. Wilson said earlier this season that he wanted to play five to seven more years.

When asked if he will return to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, quarterback Russell Wilson said, "that's the plan." Wilson also said he "loves it" in Pittsburgh, but the decision on whether he will return next season ultimately isn't his decision to make. After signing a one-year deal with Pittsburgh, the eight-time Pro Bowler got a late start to the 2024 campaign due to a lingering calf injury. He eventually took over the starting gig from Justin Fields and completed 63.7% of his 336 pass attempts for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in 11 starts during the regular season. Wilson definitely gave the offense a spark, but the Steelers ran out of gas late and he just didn't have enough weapons through the air to make him a realistic QB1 option on a weekly basis. If the veteran QB returns to the Steel City, the Steelers should be looking to give him better weapons to work with.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson completed 20 of his 29 pass attempts for 270 yards and two touchdowns in a 28-14 playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Wilson and the Steelers could not get anything going early on and found themselves trailing by 21 points at halftime. When the offense finally started clicking in the third quarter, it was effectively too late as Pittsburgh's defense continued to struggle against Baltimore's rushing attack led by Derrick Henry. The veteran signal-caller did make a few impressive throws, notably to receivers Van Jefferson and George Pickens for 30-and-36-yard scores, respectively. Overall, it was an up-and-down campaign for Wilson, who will now enter unrestricted free agency and could find himself with a new organization next season.
