And that\u2019s the position that ex-NFL\u00a0head coach Rex Ryan believes the Steelers are in after the\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0lost\u00a0Tua Tagovailoa\u00a0to another\u00a0head injury\u00a0at the start of Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rex Ryan floats the possibility of Russell Wilson going to Miami \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>Could you see it happening? \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"ql-video\" src=\"https:\/\/video.twimg.com\/amplify_video\/1835679678830444544\/vid\/avc1\/1280x720\/yRxPdVG73LaXF240.mp4?tag=16\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019d be the number one guy you would call, there\u2019s no doubt,\u201d\u00a0Ryan said on ESPN\u2019s \u201cGet Up\u201d on September 16 after host Mike Greenberg asked if teams should be calling the Steelers about Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd here\u2019s the thing,\u201d Ryan went on, acknowledging that some might disagree with the idea of trading Wilson. \u201cHere\u2019s what you ask for \u2014 you ask for a first-round pick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before anyone questioned the exorbitant price tag from the former coach, Ryan explained his thought process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy would Pittsburgh trade him?\u201d He said. \u201cUnless it\u2019s a first-round pick, they\u2019re not going to trade him. Because their situation is good. Everybody knows you need two quarterbacks in this league.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m telling ya. You\u2019ve seen it. What\u2019s the price of a starting quarterback in this league? It\u2019s a first-round pick,\u201d Ryan reiterated. \u201cSo, the only way you make that move for Russell Wilson is if you\u2019re a team that has lost their starting quarterback and you think you are a playoff contending team. I don\u2019t know, is there one like that right now? There very well could be in Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Pros &amp; Cons of Steelers Trading Russell Wilson<\/h2>\n<p>There are pretty obvious pros and cons to trading Wilson if you\u2019re the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p>First off, Fields has yet to prove that he can lead Pittsburgh on a playoff run. Or going one step further, he\u2019s yet to prove that he\u2019s the better quarterback for this Steelers offense because Wilson has never truly been healthy since arriving in town.<\/p>\n<p>Another con would be injury insurance. Even if it\u2019s determined that Fields gives Pittsburgh the better chance to win football games, the Steelers would be one injury away from starting\u00a0Kyle Allen\u00a0after a potential Wilson trade.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an old adage in football that strengths can very quickly turn into weaknesses in a physical sport like this, and you can never be too careful about your quarterback depth.<\/p>\n<p>As for the pros, a Wilson trade would be phenomenal business by the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p>Very few teams wanted the former Super Bowl champion this spring, and Pittsburgh managed to convince him to sign for a base salary\u00a0of $1.21 million. Flipping him for any sort of draft capital \u2014 let alone a first-round pick \u2014 would be highway robbery long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention that trading Wilson would eliminate the QB controversy and the weekly distraction that comes with rostering two viable starters.<\/p>\n<p>If the Steelers prioritize the future, trading Wilson makes a lot of sense. Whether or not it would put them in the best position to win in 2024 is a totally different conversation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Sit Atop AFC North After First 2 Weeks of NFL Season<\/h2>\n<p>If the Steelers were struggling, a Wilson trade might make more sense. They\u2019re currently in sole possession of first place in the AFC North, however, and with the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0and\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0beginning the year 0-2, this is no time to take your foot off the gas pedal.<\/p>\n<p>With a home win over the\u00a0Los Angeles Chargers\u00a0in Week 3, the Steelers could be 3-0 to start the season.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows what sort of lead that might give them over their rivals if things continue to trend south in Baltimore, Cincy\u00a0and Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the responsible plan is to stand pat at quarterback. And generally speaking, the Steelers have been a very responsible organization under the leadership of head coach Mike Tomlin and the Rooney family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyWould the Pittsburgh Steelers consider trading veteran quarterback Russell Wilson?
