Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan floated a possible trade of Russell Wilson to the Miami Dolphins.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson calls signals before taking a snap from Zach Frazier during the first half of an NFL exhibition football game against the Buffalo Bills, Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, in Pittsburgh. Justin Fields has led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 2-0 record, which has led to much discussion about Russell Wilson’s standing with the team.
Under just a one-year, veteran minimum contract, Wilson would give teams a high-floor player who could execute their game plans. Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan wants to see the Miami Dolphins trade for Wilson after placing Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve following a concussion., where our team of sports betting experts has reviewed the experience, payout speed, parlay options and quality of odds for multiple sportsbooks.
Ryan’s reasoning is simple. He believes that Fields has done enough to earn the job in Pittsburgh, and that it serves no one well if Wilson is on the bench. So, a trade for a team now quarterback-needy in the Dolphins makes sense.Tomlin has backed Fields for another week as the starter, and Wilson is still recovering from the calf strain. Fields has 273 passing yards and a touchdown in his first two games while leading the Steelers to a 2-0 record.
“At the beginning of week 1, I said it was debatable and so we will stay status quo. Russell was in pole position. My position regarding pecking order and the depth chart has not changed, guys, and it won’t until the other guy gets healthy and then we’ll give it real consideration. Until then, I won’t speculate,” Tomlin said.
A trade of Wilson seems highly unlikely unless the Steelers go fully in on Fields. Even if that is the case, Ryan suggests asking for a first-round pick for Wilson, which just makes no sense at this point. The Steelers might push for a day two pick, but they will not get a first-round pick for Wilson.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
