Russell Wilson Rebuffs Raiders Rumors, Says Focus Is on Steelers

ORLANDO, Fla. — This article originally appeared on SteelersNOW.com.

Quarterback Russell Wilson remains focused on returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers for 2025, despite mounting talk that he may be interested in the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback job instead.

The Raiders have hired former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, who coached Wilson for the first 10 years of his career. They’re also expected to hire former Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell as the new offensive coordinator.

That’s led to plenty of talk that Wilson could re-join his former Seattle coaches in Las Vegas in 2025. But asked about that possibility before the AFC Pro Bowl on Saturday, Wilson said his sole focus is on returning to the Steelers.

“I’m looking forward to hopefully going back to the Steelers and we’ll see what happens with the rest,” Wilson told The Associated Press before AFC Pro Bowl practice on Saturday. “I love it in Pittsburgh. … “Pete’s going to be a great coach, obviously. He’s great at what he does. But I’m focused on the Steelers.”
