All signs point to veteran quarterback Russell Wilson leaving the Denver Broncos at some point before the start of the 2024 season. The upcoming NFL scouting combine and draft have seemed to only increase the speculation surrounding Wilson's future.

While a decision on Wilson remains unknown, one former NFL star claims to already know where the Super Bowl-winning quarterback will land, as Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson expressed his strong belief that Wilson will play for the Pittsburgh Steelers next season. 

"A little birdie told me… and I said this many shows ago… Russell Wilson's coming on over there to the Steelers," Johnson told Shannon Sharpe on the "Nightcap" podcast.

Sharpe then mentioned that Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields' name has recently been linked to the Steelers. Johnson, however, quickly offered his prediction that Fields would end up with his hometown team in 2024.

"No," Johnson insisted. "(Fields is) going to Atlanta. I told you. I got the script."
