Former Steeler Surfaces In Epstein Files

PITTSBURGH, PA — A former Pittsburgh Steelers player has been mentioned in the latest batch of Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Ten time pro bowler Russell Wilson, who was the starting quarterback for the Steelers for a portion of the 2025 season, was linked to the late, notorious sex offender in the files that were made public on Friday.

USA Today reported that several emails from Epstein and his personal pilot, Larry Visoski, were among the millions of pages of documents published by justice department. In them, the two discussed Wilson's interest in buying Epstein's Gulfstream G-IV private jet in 2019.

Wilson, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing, vehemently denied any connection to Epstein on social media.

"NOPE!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Not TODAY satan!," he posted Sunday on X.

"Some Random plane broker tried to sell me a plane. I had no idea whose plane and never bought the plane. Never talked nor Never met the man. Thank God!!!"

Publicist Stephanie Jones, whose firm represents Wilson, told the Seattle Times Sunday that Wilson "never purchased the aircraft, nor was he aware that any aircraft discussed by third parties had any connection to Epstein."

After leaving the Steelers at the end of last season, the 14-year veteran and Super Bowl-winning Wilson, 37, signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants. He began the season as the Giants' starting quarterback but later was benched for rookie Jaxson Dart.

Wilson is slated to be a free agent this off-season.
