Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was non-committal on both quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields for next season and talked about seeing who is available at the position on the outside. Both Wilson and Fields will become free agents in March, and the Steelers want to see what else is out there before committing to them for the 2025 campaign. Wilson said he'd like to return to the Steel City, but also acknowledged it's not up to him. The 36-year-old Wilson missed most of training camp and the first six games of the season with a calf injury but eventually returned and won six of his first seven starts before losing the final five games. The Steelers averaged 28 points and 372 yards of offense in his first seven starts but dropped to 14 points and 263 yards in five straight losses to close the year. Wilson said earlier this season that he wanted to play five to seven more years.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) suffered a re-tear of his Achilles tendon and had another surgery on Thursday to fix it, according to sources informed of the situation. The re-tear comes less than three months after his original tear, and Watson could now miss the entire 2025 season. General manager Andrew Berry announced on Monday that Watson had suffered a setback in his rehab, but now we know that it's a pretty serious setback. Even if Watson can make it back at some point this year, there's an even bigger question about how he would perform after dual Achilles injuries. Since the Browns acquired Watson, he's played in just 19 of a possible 51 regular-season games due to injury and suspension -- he was suspended 11 games in 2022 following allegations of sexual misconduct. If he misses all of 2025, he will have played in just 19 of a possible 85 regular-season games.
