Arrr, me mateys, J.J. Watt be a true seer of the seven seas! He saw Russell Wilson settin' sail for the Pittsburgh Steelers, after bein' cast adrift by the Denver Broncos. Aye, and he gave us the reasons why he be makin' such a bold prediction. Aye, the seas be full of surprises indeed!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, a week before free agency began, J.J. Watt was pondering the whereabouts of Russell Wilson in 2024 while sitting in London. After some contemplation, Watt predicted that Wilson would end up in Pittsburgh. Lo and behold, Wilson confirmed this just three days later on social media. Wilson signed a one-year, $1.12 million deal with the Steelers after being released by the Denver Broncos.Watt explained that the move was beneficial for both Wilson and the team, as Wilson's unique contract situation allowed him to choose where he wanted to go while offering the Steelers a valuable player at a low cost. Watt initially considered Kenny Pickett for Pittsburgh, but the team's quarterback situation changed dramatically with the addition of Justin Fields.If things do not pan out with Wilson, the Steelers have Fields as a backup option. With T.J. Watt leading the defense and Wilson at quarterback, the Steelers are hoping for a more successful season in 2024. Whether Wilson stays beyond this season remains to be seen, but the Steelers are prepared for any outcome with Fields waiting in the wings.Overall, Watt believes that the Steelers have little to lose with Wilson as their quarterback this season. Wilson gets a chance to prove himself on a team with a winning history, while the Steelers aim to improve their offense and secure a playoff spot.
