Former NFL GM Rick Spielman Thinks Russell Wilson Would Be Good ‘One-Year Stopgap’ For Steelers

Former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman was a guest on Sirius XM NFL Radio’s The Blitz today, and he talked about the potential fit between quarterback Russell Wilson and the Steelers. The Steelers are reportedly interested in Wilson and planning on meeting with him, and Spielman thinks that Pickett would be a good fit in Pittsburgh as a one-year stopgap.

“It would probably be open competition, I would think, I’d imagine that’s what they’re telling him, because of what they already told Kenny Pickett, but as a one-year stopgap guy that’s gonna cost you probably a veteran minimum because he’s making all his money still from the Denver Broncos, so you can go into a Steelers organization that has a very good football team.
