Russell Wilson plans to sign with the Steelers

Russell Wilson will be signing with the Steelers. He has announced it on X, posting a clip of the team’s iconic Renegade video.

He’s still a member of the Broncos. They’ll release him on Wednesday. Then, he’ll sign in Pittsburgh. (Multiple reports have basically confirmed the obvious import of Wilson’s post.)

Presumably, he’ll sign a one-year deal for the league minimum of $1.21 million. The Broncos will owe the balance of his fully-guaranteed pay of $39 million.

It’s a surprising turn for the Steelers, who had been committed to a Kenny Pickett vs. Mason Rudolph competition. At $1.21 million, however, Wilson is a massive bargain. Also, coach Mike Tomlin has a strong affinity for players with ties to Eastern Virginia, as Wilson does.
