Steelers fans hyped over Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf training at 6am - "Get the Seahawks on the line"

Denver Broncos v Seattle Seahawks
Once teammates, Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf remain great friends

Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf aren't teammates anymore, but that doesn't mean their bond has been broken. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver remain good friends, and they're even working together at 6 AM during the NFL offseason.

A recent video shows Wilson throwing lasers to Metcalf early in the morning, a sign that certainly caught the attention of Seahawks fans, who had a blast during the three years that the pair was together before the quarterback was sent in a blockbuster trade to the Denver Broncos.

Those who got the most excited about the video happened to be Steelers fans, who begged general manager Kevin Colbert to push for a Metcalf move to reunite the pair in Pittsburgh:

But other fanbases chimed in on the video as well:

"Crazy how I remember getting hyped watching these same videos as a Broncos fan", said a Denver fan
"Looking forward to Russ turning it around after the Broncos debacle. #GoHawks", said a Seahawks fan.
"Hope Russ balls out so he can solidify his Hall of Fame bid", another Seahawks fan said.

Russell Wilson's new start in Pittsburgh

One of the most toxic marriages in the NFL ended in less than two years. The Denver Broncos decided to take on a historic dead cap and release Russell Wilson once the league's new fiscal year started back in March, making the quarterback a free agent available to any team that wanted his services in 2024 - the Pittsburgh Steelers said yes.

It's not that surprising, despite the amount of money the Broncos will take as dead cap. The team knows the trade was a huge mistake, and the amount of assets involved in the deal only makes the result even more unfavorable.

Russell Wilson's best days in the NFL are behind him. It's a very sharp decline and, with his advanced age and reduced mobility compared to his first years in the league, it's very unlikely that he will play at a good level again during any remaining period of his career.

Two years ago, he was still considered one of the best in the league, now he'll have to work hard to keep Justin Fields sitting on the bench. The NFL cycle is brutal.
