ESPN reported Russell Wilson will sign a one-year deal with the Steelers, with reports stating it will be for the league minimum of $1.21 million, with the Broncos paying the rest of the $39 million he is due in 2024. The former Seahawks quarterback confirmed via social media Sunday night that he will sign with the Steelers, posting on X “Year 13, Grateful. @Steelers’’ accompanied with a video of scenes from Acrisure Stadium, the home of the Steelers. Russell Wilson’s suddenly mercurial quarterback journey will continue in Pittsburgh.
Russell Wilson will be competing for the starting quarterback position. The Steelers return their starter but Russell is expected to come in and compete and likely lead the Steelers this fall. Other teams that showed interest were the NY Giants. Denver and Seattle ended poorly for Russell Wilson but Pittsburgh might be a good landing spot. The summer training camp will be very interesting for Steeler fans.
