Free agent quarterback Russell Wilson is on his way to Pittsburgh, according to reports.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Wilson was seen at the Newark Airport, getting a flight to Pittsburgh to talk with the Steelers.
A source told Rapoport that Wilson was taking pictures with fans and hung out with them “before boarding the flight.”
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter Wilson was in New York for an "exploratory meeting” with the Giants before leaving for Pittsburgh.
With his former team, the Denver Broncos, owing Wilson $39 million, it’s believed that he will sign with a team for the league minimum or close to it.
