The Tennessee Titans might be turning into the Pittsburgh Steelers of the AFC South.
FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz reported on March 12 that the Titans have agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract with former Steelers wideout Van Jefferson. News of the deal came two days after the Titans came to terms on a four-year, $82 million deal with former Steelers left tackle Dan Moore Jr.
Pittsburgh was expected to lose both Jefferson and Moore. But their signings in Tennessee, particularly Jefferson’s, is noteworthy because of the possibility of the Titans also trying to court quarterback Russell Wilson.
SNY’s Connor Hughes reported on March 10 the Titans are showing interest in Wilson.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac reported on March 11 that the Steelers were negotiating with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers But. Dulac added Wilson returning to the Steelers was still on the table.
“It’s possible Russell Wilson could return to the Steelers if ongoing discussions with Aaron Rodgers fail to result in a financial agreement, per multiple sources,” wrote Dulac on X (formerly Twitter).
Including the playoffs, Wilson started 12 games in 2024, leading the Steelers to a 6-6 record during his first season in Pittsburgh. Wilson is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Jefferson registered 24 catches, 276 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 2024. That was also his first season with the Steelers.
