The Pittsburgh Steelers have secured veteran quarterback Russell Wilson on a one-year deal, following his departure from the Denver Broncos. Sources indicate that Wilson will receive the veteran minimum salary of $1.2 million from the Steelers, with the Broncos also obligated to pay him $37.8 million for the 2023-24 season. Wilson hinted at the move on social media, sharing highlights from Steelers games and expressing gratitude for the opportunity.
Wilson's signing brings a wealth of experience to the Steelers. With a career passer rating of 100, he ranks among the NFL's top quarterbacks. His impressive statistics, including 334 touchdown passes and 44,653 passing yards, highlight his impact on the field. The addition of Wilson bolsters the Steelers' quarterback lineup, which previously relied on Kenny Pickett, the 20th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Prior to Wilson's arrival, the Steelers faced uncertainty at the quarterback position, with only Mitchell Trubisky under contract for the 2024 season. Trubisky's departure to the Buffalo Bills created a void that Wilson is expected to fill. The Steelers' decision to sign Wilson underscores their commitment to fielding a competitive team. With Wilson leading the charge, Steelers fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead.
