Russell Wilson is hoping to land another starting job heading into 2025, and it sounds like the former Pro Bowl quarterback is at the top of at least one team’s list according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Wilson has visited both the Browns and the Giants and there is still a possibility he could return to Pittsburgh if Aaron Rodgers does not sign there.  During an appearance on "Sportscenter" Friday, Fowler indicated that Wilson is the Browns' top choice.

“The Cleveland Browns still have interest in Russell Wilson. They’re still pursuing that angle, but they have Carson Wentz as a contingency plan,” Fowler said, as transcribed by Adam Wells of Bleacher Report. “There’s some mutual interest there if Wilson falls through. Kirk Cousins would be a prime option for the Browns, I’m told, but he’s simply not available right now, so it’s uncertain whether they want to really wait that out.”

Cousins remains under contract with the Atlanta Falcons. Unless he were released, he would be a far more expensive option than Wilson. The Falcons are likely willing to eat some of Cousins’ $180 million contract to help facilitate a trade, but the Browns could sign Wilson for less.

The Browns also have the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, so it is certainly possible they could draft their next quarterback. Fowler said there is “love” in Cleveland for both Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, who are expected to be the top two quarterbacks taken.

The quarterback situation in Cleveland remains an absolute mess, and the Browns are trying to avoid a total rebuild. That is why they would like to sign a veteran like Wilson to serve as a stopgap, at the very least.  Wilson might prefer to play for the Giants over the Browns, but New York is also waiting on Rodgers.  However and whenever this game of musical chairs is settled, it seems likely that Wilson will be the starting quarterback for SOMEONE in 2025.
