“They had more problems than Bryce Young,” Bill Belichick remarked today about the Panthers QB situation, his words cutting through the NFL rumor mill. But what if Bryce Young goes to Miami?

James Jones, former NFL player turned analyst, just lobbed a suggestion that’s got everyone talking. On THE FACILITY, Jones dropped this bombshell today: “I would not go after Bryce Young, but I will go after Russell Wilson.” This comes hot on the heels of the Carolina Panthers‘ shocking decision to bench Young, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, after just two games in the 2024 season.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins are in a pickle. Tua Tagovailoa‘s latest concussion has him on IR, leaving Miami’s playoff hopes hanging by a thread. As Shannon Sharpe put it last week, “Really hope Tua is ok, but he’s gotta seriously think about shutting it down.” It’s a gut-punch for a team that’s been riding high, making the playoffs in each of Mike McDaniel’s first two seasons.

Enter Russell Wilson, the once-elite QB now warming the bench in Pittsburgh. Jones sees a perfect match: “What is Russell Wilson special at, at the quarterback position? Throwing the deep ball. What do they do in Miami? They throw that deep ball…I would like for them to call the Pittsburgh Steelers. Y’all really like Justin Fields like that? Y’all love him? Because we’ll take Russ, all right, and plug him in right now,” It’s like pairing a master chef with a Michelin-star kitchen.

But here’s the kicker: Wilson’s currently on a bargain-bin $1.21 million deal with the Steelers. As Jones quipped, “You can get him for a million dollars, yeah, whatever vet minimum.” It’s like finding a Rolex at a yard sale.

Wilson’s rocky road to redemption

Russell Wilson’s career has more twists than a pretzel factory. Once the toast of Seattle, his Denver stint was about as successful as a screen door on a submarine. But could Miami be his ticket back to the big time?

Remember, we’re talking about a guy with 43,653 career passing yards and 334 touchdowns. Wilson’s got the chops, but can he find his mojo in Miami?

The Dolphins offense is tailor-made for Wilson’s skill set. With speed demons Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle stretching the field, Wilson could unleash those deep bombs that made him a Seattle legend. It’s like giving Picasso a fresh canvas and the finest brushes.

But pump the brakes, folks. As ESPN’s Dan Graziano points out, “Wilson actually has a no-trade clause in that minimum-salary deal with the Steelers.” So he’d need to green-light any deal. But come on, who wouldn’t trade Pittsburgh’s Primanti Bros. for Miami’s stone crabs?

The clock’s ticking louder than a ref’s whistle in overtime. With Tua’s future cloudy and Miami’s playoff hopes on the line, Wilson could be the Hail Mary pass they need. As Rex Ryan put it, “Yeah, I think he’d be the number one guy you would call. There’s no doubt you would.”

It’s a potential win-win that could shake up the AFC faster than you can say “Omaha!” Will Miami roll the dice? Or will Wilson stay put, waiting for his chance to prove he’s still got gas in the tank? One thing’s for sure: in the NFL, the only constant is change. And this potential trade? It’s got more intrigue than a spy novel at the Pro Bowl.
