Will Russell Wilson resign with the Pittsburgh Steelers after this season? After the Steelers gave Wilson a one-year deal this offseason, he's proved his worth. Former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger understands that better than possibly anyone. He explained on the Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger Podcast about how his former team should handle the quarterback situation.
“I think the concern is if you give Russ three years for whatever, I think you would lose (Justin) Fields,” Roethlisberger said. “I don’t think that you want to lose Justin. So maybe the better play is you try to offer Russ a one-year for $30 (million) or whatever it is. I think it would kill the cap, but just try to keep Justin around for another year and see what you could get and let him develop. I don’t know if Russ would take that, though. Someone will offer him at least a three-year deal.
