Former NFL star suggests Russell Wilson to the Steelers

The big news out of the NFL on Wednesday was that the Denver Broncos are planning to bench quarterback Russell Wilson to avoid potentially paying injury guarantees in his contract. After that, word got out that the Broncos plan to release Wilson in March.
