"The #Steelers’ odds of acquiring #Broncos QB Russell Wilson have gone all the way from +1400 to -110, making them the new favorites, via @DKSportsbook

The #Steelers are in the market for a QB and the #Broncos are expected to move on from Russell Wilson this offseason."

Something to watch. Not exactly an upgrade for Pittsburgh

Athletes First has directed their draft prospects to pass on participating in any cognitive or psychological testing during the pre-draft process, including the S2 test, per @kalynkahler. All 32 NFL teams were informed of the agency's decision.

This comes after last year's debacle with CJ Stroud where his poor test score was leaked. Despite that, Stroud led Houston to the playoffs and went on to win Offensive Rookie of the Year this past season. Stroud is repped by Athletes First.

You don't think he is an upgrade over Pickett or Rudolph? A significant one imo. The real question is how the Broncos can absorb the cap implications of trading him. Not sure how 85M in dead cap would work in a trade.

Due to the money albatross, expect very low compensation if a deal happens for RW.
