However, Wilson was spotted leaving their Ohio training facility -without inking a contract.
Cleveland 19 News recorded video footage of the former Super Bowl champion departing in a white SUV.
As reported by Cleveland.com, Wilson is now set to fly to the East Coast to begin talks with the New York Giants.
Wilson could still strike up a deal with Pittsburgh Steelers, depending on what happens with Aaron Rodgers and his future.
Reports suggest that Rodgers is also a target for the Steelers, while the Giants and Minnesota Vikings have been touted as potential destinations for the Green Bay Packers legend.
Wilson played a total of 11 games for the Steelers last season.
He finished the regular season having completed 63.7 percent of his passes for 2,482 yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions.
However, the wheels came off at the tail-end of the season.
Following a promising start, they lost their last five games, including four in the regular season and one in the post season.
Wilson holds the record for most wins by an NFL quarterback through nine seasons and is one of five quarterbacks with a career passer rating over 99.
In 2019, he signed a four-year, $140 million contract extension with the Seahawks, becoming the highest-paid NFL player at the time. In 2020, he became the third quarterback in NFL history to throw 30 touchdowns in four consecutive seasons.
Wilson was traded to the Broncos in 2022 and later signed a five-year, $245 million extension. His time with the Broncos was marred with disappointment, with the Broncos having the league’s worst scoring offense in 2022.
Wilson was benched near the end of the 2023 season and was released in the offseason, later signing a one-year deal with the Steelers where he earned his tenth Pro Bowl selection and a spot in the playoffs.
