Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson has announced that he will be joining the Pittsburgh Steelers for the upcoming NFL season. Wilson, who had permission from the Denver Broncos to seek out a new team, spent over six hours with the Steelers before making his decision.
According to ESPN, Wilson will sign a team-friendly deal with the Steelers for one year. The move comes after the Broncos announced that they would be releasing Wilson when the new league year begins in March.
The Steelers have been in need of a starting quarterback since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger. Wilson’s arrival is expected to bring stability to the position and provide a much-needed boost to the team’s offense.
Wilson expressed his excitement about joining the Steelers on social media, posting a video of Steelers fans waving their iconic “Terrible Towels” at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. He is looking forward to the opportunity to compete for another Super Bowl ring with his new team.
With Wilson at the helm, the Steelers are expected to have a revamped offense next season. Wilson will have the opportunity to work with talented receivers like Diontae Johnson and George Pickens, as well as running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
