Russell Wilson set to sign with Pittsburgh Steelers after being informed of release by Denver Broncos
Russell Wilson is set to sign a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the 2024 NFL season; Wilson was informed last week he would be released by the Denver Broncos, who will pay the large bulk of his $39m salary this season.
Russell Wilson has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers when the new league year begins, NFL Network reported on Sunday.
Pittsburgh will pay Wilson’s minimum of $1.21m while the Denver Broncos pay the remainder of his $39m salary
Wilson posted his intentions on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying: “Year 13. Grateful. @Steelers.”
The 35-year-old Wilson was 11-19 in two seasons with the Broncos after being acquired in a trade from Seattle. He bounced back from a dreadful 2022 season and threw 3,070 yards, 26 touchdowns and only eight interceptions, but still lost his job to Jarrett Stidham after going 7-8 in coach Sean Payton’s first season last year.
Wilson led Seattle to eight playoff appearances and a Super Bowl title in 10 seasons with the Seahawks.
