Former Seahawk, and Bronco, Russell Wilson is headed to a new team
Well, that didn't take long. Six days after former Seahawk Russell Wilson was let go from the Denver Broncos, the quarterback is already slated to play for a new NFL team.
On Sunday evening, Wilson tweeted a video hyping the Pittsburgh Steelers, indicating he is going to play for the team, stating "Year 13. Grateful. @Steelers." Wilson's Twitter profile now also states "I want to Love like Jesus! Steelers QB #3" followed by black and yellow hearts, the Steelers' team colors.
As of Monday morning, the Steelers have yet to make any official announcement. ESPN reporter Adam Schefter reported Wilson "plans to sign" with the team for a one-year deal.
Wilson was recently released from his five-year deal with the Denver Broncos, just two years into the contract. Schefter reported that "league sources" say the fine print of Wilson's contract will have the Broncos paying his $38 million salary while he plays for Pittsburgh.
This is the second jump to a new team after Wilson left the Seahawks in 2022, following 10 years in Seattle. His time with the Seahawks included two trips to the Super Bowl, one of which the team won. His two years with the Broncos, however, has not been viewed as successful.
