Russell Wilson, the quarterback who won the Super Bowl, signed a one-year, $1.21 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Considering that Wilson, a 35-year-old veteran, is still receiving $39 million from his previous Denver Broncos squad this season, it makes sense.
Does this imply Wilson won’t stay in Pittsburgh for very long? After all, the young quarterback Justin Fields was acquired by the Steelers throughout the weekend in a trade with the Chicago Bears.
At the conclusion of the 2024 NFL season, Wilson is expected to sign a long-term contract, according to Steelers source Gerry Dulac. He won’t just be a band-aid solution.
At quarterback, Pittsburgh is in a great situation. When we discuss the money, anyway. In 2024, Wilson and Fields will have a combined $4.4 million counted against the cap. It’s among the NFL’s least expensive rooms for quarterbacks.
Additionally, it should position the Steelers to be active participants in free agency and trade talks later in the season. Later this week, they already have a meeting scheduled with Mike Williams, the former standout wide receiver for the Los Angeles Chargers.
