Russell Wilson Signs One-Year Deal with Pittsburgh Steelers
Russell Wilson, the accomplished nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback, has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, as confirmed by a reliable source familiar with the negotiations.
Wilson will receive the veteran’s minimum salary of $1.21 million from the Steelers, with the Denver Broncos covering the remainder of his $39 million salary, making this a significant move in the NFL.
The 35-year-old Wilson previously played for the Denver Broncos following a trade from Seattle and recorded 3,070 yards, 26 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions in the last season.
Despite his solid performance, Wilson lost his starting position to Jarrett Stidham and is now set to bring his experience to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pittsburgh Steelers, who ended last season with Mason Rudolph as their starting quarterback, have now bolstered their roster with the addition of Russell Wilson, aiming to enhance their playoff prospects in the upcoming season.
Russell Wilson’s decorated career includes leading the Seattle Seahawks to multiple playoff appearances and a Super Bowl title during his tenure with the team before joining the Denver Broncos.
With this new agreement, Wilson looks forward to making his mark with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team with a storied history in the NFL.
