Pete Carroll Addresses Steelers’ Russell Wilson Rumors
PITTSBURGH — Is Russell Wilson leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers and heading to the Las Vegas Raiders? The answer isn’t no, but according to the Raiders new head coach, it’s too early to decide whether or not that’s going to happen.
Since the moment Carroll was hired by the Raiders, Wilson’s name has been floated as a “player to watch” for Las Vegas’s quarterback void. Aidan O’Connell is expected to be in consideration, but many see Wilson as an easy option to reunite with his former head coach and try to make a run in the AFC West.
Speaking on What The Football, Carroll was asked about a potential reunion with his Super Bowl-winning quarterback, and didn’t shut down the possibility of it happening.
“It’s so early and we’re just in the midst of trying to find the puzzle pieces, not even putting them together yet, so I can’t even say. Free agency hasn’t come yet,” Carroll said.
He did hint at the idea, though, saying the Raiders are open to anyone who can help the team win.
“I promise you, if you’re a real competitor you’re not letting options get away from you,” Carroll added.
Wilson led the Steelers to the Wild Card round of the playoffs and had moments where people talked about him being an MVP candidate. Things went downhill fast at the end of the season, losing five-straight games to finish the year, but not everything was on Wilson.
As for Pittsburgh, they are believed to favor Justin Fields as their next starter, but aren’t shutting down the possibility Wilson returns. That could change if Wilson heads west to Vegas.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts
Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.
The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.
Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.
Why do bees swarm?
Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.
Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.
With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
