Russell Wilson has been with the Seattle Seahawks since 2012 and has two years left on his contract. However, the Seahawks quarterback is reportedly exploring his options to see what else is available this offseason, which means he could be with another team in the fall. This isn’t much of a surprise considering he expressed his frustrations with the team, including not having a say in personnel moves.

“I want to be able to be involved because at the end of the day, it’s your legacy, it’s your team’s legacy, it’s the guys that you can hang out with and at the end of the day, those guys that you’ve got to trust,” Wilson said on The Dan. Patrick Show in February 2021. “When you think about one of the reasons Tom went to Tampa was because he felt like he could trust those guys and [coach Bruce Arians] I was going to give him a chance. … You think about guys like LeBron [James], he was able to be surrounded by great players that he can trust. Who are the teams that could go after Wilson? Scroll down to find out.

If Ben Roethlisberger retires, the Steelers will need a quarterback. Because of their core, the Steelers will always be on the hunt to make the playoffs, but adding a player like Wilson could take them back to the Super Bowl.

There were rumors that the Broncos were chasing Aaron Rodgers when he was in trouble with the Green Bay Packers. With the team looking for a new head coach, it might be time to find a quarterback who can consistently make plays. Plus, the Broncos will be looking for a big-name quarterback (Peyton Manning) if they think they’re one piece away from making the Super Bowl.

The Panthers need a quarterback, as Sam Darnold and Cam Newton aren’t long-term answers. Imagine, if the Panthers brought Wilson in, NFL fans would see him take on Tom Brady twice a year since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the same division.

If the Dolphins go after Wilson, their current quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, will likely be ejected. There are strong pieces for Wilson to work with in Miami, but the first thing the team needs to do is hire a head coach.

The Saints missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016 because they weren’t consistent at quarterback. Wilson would be fun to see in a Sean Payton offense, and he reportedly has an interest in playing for the Saints.

The Giants need a spark as they’ve been through three different head coaches in five years. Their current quarterback, Daniel Jones, hasn’t lived up to expectations, and Wilson has reportedly expressed interest in the Giants.

Wilson will most likely stay with the Seahawks for now. However, he may not sign a contract extension with the team, especially if they have another season in which they will miss the playoffs. Wilson led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl in 2013 and would love to win another one before his career is over.
