The Pittsburgh Steelers and QB Russell Wilson plan to work on a contract extension at the end of the 2024 season, according to multiple sources. He had signed a one-year contract with the Steelers for the veteran minimum because the Denver Broncos are still paying him $39 million for the upcoming season.
Huddle Up: Although he may not be the same player that he was in Seattle, the 35-year-old Wilson can be viewed as a solid QB2 option in fantasy football drafts this year because of the weapons surrounding him on offense, such as WR George Pickens and TE Pat Freiermuth.

Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers Saturday, March 16, in exchange for a conditional sixth-round draft choice, according to sources. The draft pick can become a fourth-round draft choice depending on his playing time.
Huddle Up: Caleb Williams should be the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Bears and likely will be the Week 1 starting quarterback. He probably will have some struggles like most rookie quarterbacks do but has a chance to be at least a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson was traded to the Carolina Panthers Tuesday, March 12, in exchange for CB Donte Jackson and the 178th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, according to sources. The Panthers will also receive the 240th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: George Pickens will be the main receiver for the Steelers moving forward, and the team likely will add a few more receivers in free agency and the draft. Pickens can be a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Broncos) reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth $1.2 million with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, March 10.
Huddle Up: With the Denver Broncos paying Wilson nearly $40 million to not be on their team for the upcoming season, the Steelers grab themselves a bargain and have found their likely starter in 2024. Wilson may no longer be the same player he was with the Seahawks, but he is almost certainly an upgrade over Kenny Pickett. The 35-year-old should be viewed as a solid QB2 option in fantasy drafts this summer, especially with Diontae Johnson, George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth at his disposal.

Impending free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Broncos) could meet with the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Aidan O'Connell will be competing for the starting job, but the Raiders could add a veteran like Wilson to also fight for the starting job. Neither O'Connell nor Wilson would be more than No. 2 fantasy quarterbacks if they start for the Raiders.

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Broncos) had an exploratory meeting with the New York Giants Friday, March 8.

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Broncos) is expected to meet with the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of free agency, according to sources Thursday, March 7.
Huddle Up: The Steelers have made it clear they're looking at competition for Kenny Pickett. There's no guarantee Wilson will be the starter wherever he signs so he can mostly be avoided for fantasy purposes.

Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson will not be released until the start of the new league year, but Russell has received permission to talk with other teams, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Wilson will have to wait a little over a week to sign with a team but has a chance to talk with several teams looking to add a quarterback this offseason. He probably will have to compete for a starting job with his new team and will only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts for a team.

The Denver Broncos are likely to release QB Russell Wilson by next week, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, who reports that many people around the league believe that the organization is ready to move in a different direction.
Huddle Up: Wilson's $37 million 2025 base salary will become guaranteed if he is still on Denver's roster by March 17, and releasing him prior to that date will likely create a massive dead-money hit that will impact the Broncos' salary cap for the next two seasons. Regardless of where he lands, Wilson is expected to have an opportunity to start but is likely to be a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.

The Atlanta Falcons are close to finalizing a trade to acquire Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields, per sources on Saturday, March 2. It remains unclear if the deal will be finalized or announced before the end of the combine, though.
Huddle Up: If this trade indeed gets done, going to Atlanta would be an upgrade for Fields, who would have better weapons to work with in Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson. Regardless of where he ends up, Fields will be a QB1 entering 2024 because of his ability to scramble.

Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson's status with the team in 2024 remains in limbo, and general manager George Paton confirmed on Tuesday, Feb. 27, that no team has reached out to him regarding a trade.
Huddle Up: This is not so much a matter of 31 other teams questioning whether Wilson can still play, but rather a select few teams that need a quarterback hoping the Broncos will have little choice but to release him. Wilson is coming off a very respectable season statistically (66.4 completion percentage, 29 total touchdowns and eight interceptions) not unlike the ones he enjoyed in his heyday with the Seattle Seahawks. Assuming Wilson is released, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders should be considered among the favorites to sign him.

Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields would be dealt by the time free agency opened March 13 if the team decided to take a quarterback in the NFL Draft, according to general manager Ryan Poles.
Huddle Up: Fields would likely benefit from a change of scenery and could return to midrange QB1 status with the right elements around him.

Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields said he hopes to remain with the Bears but does not know what the team will do with him this offseason.
Huddle Up: The Bears likely will decide in the near future if they will look to trade Fields, so fantasy players should monitor the situation. He will start wherever he plays in 2024 and can be a low-end No. 1 fantasy quarterback in part because of his running ability.

Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields has received some trade interest this offseason, and the Bears are expected to make a plan on what to do with Fields by the NFL Scouting Combine.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if the Bears will keep Fields as the starter or if they decide to use the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on a quarterback. Fields will receive interest from multiple teams if he is made available and can be a low-end No. 1 fantasy quarterback in some leagues.

Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson may talk with the team about the possibility of re-negotiating his contract this offseason, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Huddle Up: There are multiple possible outcomes for Wilson this offseason, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation during the offseason. Wilson probably will have a chance to start no matter where he ends up but likely will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields could be staying put after all, as multiple teams have reportedly approached the Bears about trading up for the No. 1 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. According to sources, Chicago appears to be "leaning toward" moving the pick.
Huddle Up: There are multiple things to unpack here, not the least of which is that new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron might have already seen enough from Fields on tape to believe he can build his offense around the 24-year-old. There is also reason to believe that Chicago may not need to move down very much (maybe only a spot or two) with teams such as the Washington Commanders and New England Patriots likely to pay a ransom to move up for USC quarterback Caleb Williams. A trade down to No. 2 or No. 3 would also be a huge win for the Bears if they still want a quarterback and like North Carolina's Drake Maye or LSU's Jayden Daniels about as much - if not more - than Williams.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens led the NFL with 18.1 yards per reception, and he ranked ninth with 22 receptions of 20-plus yards.
Huddle Up: Despite a carousel of mediocre quarterbacks, Pickens was able to deliver plenty of big plays and finished with a career-high 1,140 yards. Pickens has shown he can be a WR3 in just about any circumstance, and his ceiling would push even higher if the Steelers solidify their quarterback situation.

Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson has at least a small chance to return to the team in 2024, according to comments made by head coach Sean Payton. "Yes. (He could return.) That final decision has not been made," Payton said on Tuesday, Jan. 9.
Huddle Up: It is anyone's guess if this is coach speak or Payton's honest opinion. It seems reasonable to conclude that Wilson would have to agree to new terms on his contract if he has any chance to remain a Bronco. At this point, it still seems much more likely than not that Wilson will be playing somewhere else other than Denver in 2024.
