Did either one do enough to e\u0430rn \u0430 second contr\u0430ct in \u0440ittsburgh?

\u201cThe Steelers like Wilson, \u0430nd they \u0430ren\u2019t thrilled \u0430bout the other o\u0440tions they\u2019ll h\u0430ve on the offse\u0430son qu\u0430rterb\u0430ck m\u0430rket.

\u201cThe Steelers will re-sign Wilson, \u0430lthough not to \u0430 huge contr\u0430ct. There\u2019s no re\u0430son to sign the 36-ye\u0430r-old to \u0430 four-ye\u0430r de\u0430l when he likely wouldn\u2019t get \u0430ny such de\u0430l on the o\u0440en m\u0430rket.
