Believe it or not, Russell Wilson is joining the Steelers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new quarterback.
After two years with the Denver Broncos, quarterback Russell Wilson will reportedly continue his NFL career with the Steelers, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the veteran quarterback will sign a one-year deal with the franchise.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added that Wilson will only cost Pittsburgh $1.2 million this season and will compete with 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett for the Steelers quarterback job.
Wilson will join Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin and new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith in trying to get the Steelers back into contending shape in a treacherous AFC.
To announce his new team, Wilson posted an announcement video featuring the Styx power ballad “Renegade” over the quick montage confirming his intent to join the Steelers.
NFL fans had plenty of thoughts about one of the league’s biggest stars joining one of its most storied franchises for 2024.
