Former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback and one-time Super Bowl champ will sign a “team-friendly,” one-year deal where the Denver Broncos will pay $83 million of his salary while he plays for the Steelers.

Russell Wilson played for the Seattle Seahawks for ten seasons before signing with the Denver Broncos.

After two disappointing seasons, the Broncos opted to cut Wilson.

One minute after Adam Schefter posted the update on X, Russell Wilson confirmed the report.
