Russell Wilson seemingly offered a cryptic response to Friday's news that his former team Pittsburgh Steelers were hosting Aaron Rodgers for a visit.
Wilson led the Steelers to the playoffs last season before they lost to the Baltimore Ravens but is now a free agent with his contract expired.
The organization in Pittsburgh are considering a move to sign Rodgers, 41, after the quarterback was cut by the New York Jets and if they were to sign him, it would close the door on Wilson's chances of a return to Pittsburgh.
After news broke of Rodgers' visit, Wilson posted on X: 'Relentless Confidence. Don’t ever stop believing in you!'
The 36-year-old Wilson often posts motivational phrases on social media but the timing of Friday's post was curious given the Rodgers news.
For Rodgers, one option for his future was seemingly ended earlier in the week when it emerged that the Minnesota Vikings will start the season with JJ McCarthy as their quarterback.
McCarthy missed last season with a knee injury and was replaced by Sam Darnold, who then entered free agency before signing a three-year deal with Seattle Seahawks - Wilson's old team.
If the Steelers sign Rodgers, it would leave some less inspiring options for Wilson's next move.
The New York Giants, Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans all have vacancies at signal caller but the fact they hold the top three picks of this year's NFL Draft shows how far they have to go to become a postseason force.
