On Tuesday, ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter reported that the New York Giants and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson have agreed on a one-year contract worth up to $21 million. This leaves the Steelers with really only one legitimate option in free agency and that is Aaron Rodgers.
The Steelers signed Wilson last offseason and planned to build the offense around him. However, Wilson suffered a ridiculous calf injury while pushing a blocking sled that forced him to miss all of training camp, the preseason and the first six games of the regular season.
