The future of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is uncertain as both face potential changes this offseason. Wilson, entering free agency, and Smith, who is interviewing for head coaching roles, may find it beneficial to part ways from the Steelers due to a reportedly strained working relationship, as indicated by insider Mark Kaboly.

Despite spending significant time together watching film and maintaining a public camaraderie, sources suggest that Wilson and Smith struggled to connect professionally. However, head coach Mike Tomlin has countered these claims, affirming that their rapport was solid and characterized by effective communication.
