Russell Wilson's NFL Journey: From Seahawks to Bench

On March 21st, Russell Wilson has had a tough run in the NFL since leaving the Seattle

Seahawks after the 2021 season.

Back then, he reportedly pushed ownership to fire the general manager and head coach.

Now, years later, he's bounced around without finding stability as a starter.

He signed with the Denver Broncos, but lasted just two seasons, disappointing so much that

they ate nearly $100 million in deadcap too.

Move on.

Wilson then landed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he started strong, but saw the team

drop their last six games of the 2024 season.

Seahawks fans have struggled to cheer for him since his exit, given the messy departure

and his uneven play elsewhere.

His reputation as a leader has taken hits, making it hard for supporters to follow his

story with enthusiasm.

This past season, Wilson got benched after three games behind a struggling New York

Giant Squad and even dropped a third string quarterback.

No teams have shown real interest in signing him, even as a backup.

With plenty of money saved to last a lifetime, Wilson might soon step away from football

for good, closing a once bright chapter on his pro career.
