Things didn’t end well in Denver between head coach Sean Payton and veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, that much is certain. But despite things ending poorly, Payton still sees Wilson landing in Pittsburgh under head coach Mike Tomlin as a “good opportunity” for the future Hall of Fame quarterback at this stage in his career.
Speaking to reporters Monday from the AFC coaches breakfast at the NFL Owners Meetings in Orlando, Payton stated that Pittsburgh is a good spot for Wilson because the Steelers are a playoff team and give him a good chance to grab a starting job.
