Quarterback Russell Wilson is set to join the Pittsburgh Steelers at the onset of the new league year, as reported by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. The nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback will sign a deal costing Pittsburgh $1.2 million in 2024.Wilson, who has already shared a hype video for his upcoming 13th NFL season with the Steelers on social media, began exploring free agency options after being informed of his release by the Denver Broncos on March 4. Following permission to engage with interested teams, Wilson prioritized Pittsburgh, where he made his first stop on Friday.The meeting proved fruitful, resulting in the Steelers securing an exceptional value deal for one of the top quarterback options in this year's free agency pool. Thanks to Denver shouldering most of the $39 million owed to Wilson for the upcoming season, Pittsburgh was able to acquire him at a reduced cost, facilitating easier roster building around him.Despite facing challenges during his tenure with the Broncos, where he struggled to replicate his past success, Wilson's move to Pittsburgh offers renewed prospects for both him and the team. While he may not possess the same agility as in his prime, Wilson brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of excellence.As Pittsburgh prepares for the post-Ben Roethlisberger era, Wilson's arrival signals a significant upgrade at the quarterback position. Although he will face competition from third-year QB Kenny Pickett, Wilson's addition injects a level of dynamism unseen since Roethlisberger's prime. Pickett, the 20th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has yet to demonstrate the same level of consistency and impact as Wilson, making the latter a pivotal addition to the Steelers' roster as they transition to a new era of leadership.
