Russell Wilson holds the ultimate decision on retirement, his future with the Steelers, and free agency.

Russell Wilson is about to face one of the most important moments of his NFL career. After a season that ended in disappointment with the Pittsburgh Steelers, his future is completely uncertain.

If that scenario were to happen, the former Super Bowl champion could face retirement from football. During a special appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the quarterback confirmed what his plans are.

Russell Wilson revealed that he has already begun contract talks with the Pittsburgh Steelers and confirmed that, as he had previously mentioned after the loss to the Ravens, his priority is to continue playing for Mike Tomlin.

“Yes. We’ve been starting to talk a little bit obviously. We had our meetings and everything else just getting into it. So, I think it’s an exciting time obviously to be a Pittsburgh Steeler and the opportunity of what we can do. I’m really excited about the opportunity of being in Pittsburgh hopefully longer. I’ve got so much more in me. My goal is to be with the Pittsburgh Steelers a long time and hopefully finish my career there.”
