Steelers' Future With Russell Wilson Just Became Crystal Clear After Jay Glazer's Latest Revelation

The Pittsburgh Steelers future at quarterback is up in the air.

In the 2024 season, they had Russell Wilson and Justin Fields , but neither quarterback truly secured their long-term future, and both are set to become free agents.

Wilson has made it clear he wants to return to Pittsburgh, but thats not the popular move.

Fields is the younger, more exciting option, but not everyone is convinced hes the answer either.

With so much uncertainty, its no surprise that Wilson and Fields became a hot topic during Radio Row leading up to the Super Bowl.

One NFL insider who is very tapped into Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin is Jay Glazer.

Glazer and Tomlin have a long-standing friendship, so Steelers fans tend to put more weight on Glazers words when he speaks about the team.

While appearing on Fantasy Football Happy Hour on Wednesday, Glazer was asked about the possibility of Wilson reuniting with new Las Vegas Raiders Head Coach Pete Carroll.

While he wasnt confident in that scenario, he also slammed the door shut on Wilson returning to the Steelers in 2025.

Glazer made it clear that, in his view, Wilsons time in Pittsburgh is over .

His words emphasized that the Steelers are not expected to bring Wilson back, regardless of his desire to return.

This reinforces growing speculation that Pittsburgh is ready to move forward with a younger quarterback, whether that means committing to Fields or exploring other options.

"That aint gonna happen," Glazer said about Wilson joining forces with Carroll in Las Vegas.

"That one is over.

I don't think that's gonna happen, either.

I think you'll see a new start for Russell somewhere." While Wilson had moments of solid play in 2024, he didnt do enough to cement himself as the long-term answer.

Now, all eyes are on what the Steelers will do next at quarterback, with the decision shaping the franchises future in 2025 and beyond.

Glazer was asked if Fields is Tomlin's choice.

He made it clear that he isn't sure.

However, Glazer did sound like the Steelers also aren't overly confident on Fields based off of what he knows.

"I got no idea.

No, I don't think..

I don't know," Glazer said.

"I don't think they know who their starting quarterback will be yet." The Steelers' decision at quarterback will undoubtedly be one of the most talked-about storylines throughout the 2025 offseason.

For many fans, the quarterback situation is seen as the key factor holding the team back from Super Bowl aspirations.

However, other analysts argue that there are multiple areas the team needs to address, from the offensive line to defensive consistency.

Regardless, its shaping up to be a compelling offseason, with plenty of intrigue for Steeler Nation .

Steelers' Russell Wilson Not Likely To Be Back In 2025 Glazers comments only add fuel to the growing belief that Wilson will not be invited back in 2025.

While many Steelers fans appreciated Wilsons efforts, leadership, and positive attitude during his time in Pittsburgh, theyre now focused on securing a younger, more cost-effective option at quarterback.

At least until they find the future of their franchise.

Wilsons experience and character made him a great fit in the locker room, but with his age and declining value on the field, fans are ready for the Steelers to make a move toward the future.

The question now is which direction Pittsburgh will take as they look to build a championship-caliber team in the coming seasons.
