The Washington Commanders are reportedly in advanced discussions to sign veteran quarterback Russell Wilson. According to sources close to the team, Wilson, 35, is expected to join the Commanders on a one-year contract, a potential final stop before his anticipated retirement from professional football.
The Commanders, currently searching for stability at the quarterback position, see Wilson’s leadership and experience as invaluable assets to guide their offense and mentor younger players. After a difficult season with the Denver Broncos, where Wilson faced challenges with injuries and performance, he entered free agency, sparking speculation about his future in the NFL.
Wilson, a Super Bowl champion and nine-time Pro Bowler, is considered one of the most accomplished quarterbacks of his generation. If the deal is finalized, this one-year stint could provide Washington with the boost they need while giving Wilson a final opportunity to cement his legacy before stepping away from the game.
