Russell Wilson next team odds: Raiders among favorites after Broncos release

Russell Wilson will soon be free from Broncos Country, but he’s already got his passport out and is looking for a new home.

The Super Bowl-winning quarterback is favored to go to the Pittsburgh Steelers (-200), according to oddsmakers at DraftKings.

There is still room for other teams to make a leap, though, as the Las Vegas Raiders are +275 and have a clear need for quarterback.

Further down the oddsboard are the Atlanta Falcons at +475 and New England Patriots at +800.

There has been some buzz – including from The Post’s Ryan Dunleavy – that Wilson could look to join the Giants as the franchise begins to sour on quarterback Daniel Jones.

But they are still hanging at 30/1 having still a road block in Jones at quarterback.

Nearly every team ranked ahead of the Giants in the odds doesn’t have a definitive starter that would block Wilson from signing there.

The lone caveat being the Buccaneers, who are sitting on a major Baker Mayfield contract decision but have mutual interest in staying together.

In order to bet on this market, you have to look at teams that need a quarterback and may not necessarily be looking to draft a quarterback in the NFL Draft come late April.

This would likely eliminate the Commanders and Patriots, unless they just decide to forgo a quarterback with their top three draft picks or they sign Wilson to serve as a bridge quarterback.

Neither seems likely.

The sleeper near the top of the market is the Minnesota Vikings, who might just be poised to lose Kirk Cousins in free agency.

He is clearly flirting with other teams, and remember that Cousins only chose Minnesota because they were offering a fully guaranteed contract.

Perhaps Wilson could see himself throwing passes to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison next season.
