Despite speculation that Russell Wilson might be eyeing a move from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Las Vegas Raiders, that doesn’t seem to be his plan.

While, Wilson spent this season as the Steelers’ starting quarterback, his long-term status with the team is quite a bit uncertain.

After signing just a one-year deal with Pittsburgh last offseason, Wilson is set to hit free agency next month, giving him the freedom to sign with any team. While he has repeatedly expressed his desire to return to the Steelers, recent developments have raised some doubts.

Last week, the Las Vegas Raiders made it official by hiring former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll to lead the team. Given Wilson and Carroll’s decade-long history together in Seattle, reports quickly emerged linking the veteran quarterback to a potential reunion in Las Vegas.

NFL insider Jeff Howe of The Athletic reported last week that Carroll and Wilson had “mended fences” and that Wilson could serve as a short-term option for the Raiders at quarterback.

“With Pete Carroll taking over the Raiders, one name I’ve heard to watch at QB: Russell Wilson. They’ve mended fences, per source, and Wilson could be a stopgap while the Raiders develop a long-term answer,” Howe said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Wilson, however, shut down that speculation.

When asked about potentially reuniting with Carroll in Las Vegas, Wilson made it clear that his focus remains on staying in Pittsburgh.

“Pete’s going to be a great coach, obviously,” Wilson said, according to Mark Long of the Associated Press.

“He’s great at what he does. But I’m focused on the Steelers,” Wilson continued.

Obviously, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the Steelers will want to move forward with Wilson, but it’s pretty clear that he wants to be in Pittsburgh.
