For the first time in his career, Russell Wilson became a free agent. Sort of. While still technically under contract, the Denver Broncos gave Wilson permission to speak with other teams before his release from the team becomes official Wednesday. Wilson had options. He met with the New York Giants, the Las Vegas Raiders reportedly had interest, and who knows which other teams would’ve jumped in. Ultimately, he chose the Pittsburgh Steelers. He can thank former teammate Robert Turbin for the help.
Appearing on Sirius Radio Monday night with Alex Marvez, Turbin said he spoke with Wilson about where his next stop should be.
