Former All-Pro Thinks $243 Million QB ‘Makes Too Much Sense’ for Steelers
As fans wait to see how the Pittsburgh Steelers will address their quarterback situation, former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco decided to share his opinion on what should come next for the team.
The previous All-Master believes there’s a reasonable decision for the group to procure at the position.
During an appearance on the January 19 episode of the Nightcap digital broadcast, Ochocinco told Shannon Sharpe that the Steelers taking action for Russell Wilson “seems OK”.
“On the off chance that you’re significant, clearly with Mike Tomlin getting an expansion, Russell Wilson is out available. He is the one you really want to get,” Ochocinco said. ” I think the matching with Russell Wilson, that offense, Diontae Johnson, Najee Harris, I figure they will be ablaze. Great, season finisher mentor, season finisher quarterback, Super Bowl mentor, Super Bowl quarterback. Man, George Pickens will cherish that. It simply seems OK to miss an open door like that assuming you’re significant about fighting in the AFC North.”
It’s not whenever Ochocinco first has made this idea. He likewise raised the thought soon after the Mustangs sidelined Wilson.
Wilson is one of the many quarterbacks that have been named as possible increments for the Steelers.
Feelings Differ on Who Steelers Ought to Seek after
Almost immediately in the 2023 NFL offseason, the Steelers have a lot of choices in the event that they choose their quarterback for 2024 isn’t really one they as of now program and every one of those choices has gotten help from various sources.
In only the previous week, Marcus Lances said that the Steelers would “totally” be competitors assuming they obtained Kirk Cousins.
Keyshawn Johnson thinks the Steelers need to go get Justin Fields.
Dan Orlovsky named Pastry specialist Mayfield as need might arise to call about close by Cousins and Fields.
Ochocinco has now supported a move to support Wilson.
In response to a question on Twitter, Antonio Brown selected Mason Rudolph as the team’s starting quarterback.
There hasn’t been a lot of public help for Kenny Pickett this offseason and he’s probably going to have to seek the beginning position with whoever else the group has on the program toward the beginning of the preseason.
There is not any more significant choice confronting the Steelers right now than what they will do at quarterback and they have a lot of choices to consider as they go with that decision.
Wilson Isn’t Really Accessible Yet
While Wilson is a player that is supposed to play for another group in 2024, there is one sort of significant barricade remaining among him and a move at the present time.
Neither the player nor the team has publicly stated that they are in search of a move yet.
The group sidelining him throughout the previous fourteen days of the time surely appeared to demonstrate that his time in Denver was reaching a conclusion.
In any case, Wilson said a while later that he actually needed to keep playing for the Mustangs.
The group likewise doesn’t actually remain to acquire a lot of by delivering Wilson before the 2024 season.
He would in any case convey a gigantic dead cap hit and they don’t have a substitution all set.
They’ll probably draft a quarterback in the main round of the forthcoming draft, yet whoever that QB is would most likely advantage from a year sitting behind Wilson.
On the off chance that they get offered an exchange that restricts the hit they take on Wilson’s agreement, letting him go turns into much really engaging, however there haven’t been any reports at this point of groups setting up a bid for the nine-time Genius Bowler.
There is totally the likelihood that Wilson could play somewhere else in 2024 and perhaps the Steelers will be that group, yet the way things are he’s a QB in the program of a group that doesn’t have another starter in the event that they let him go.
