Russell Wilson signing one-year deal with Steelers after Broncos release

Russell Wilson has found a new home. 

The quarterback is planning on signing with the Pittsburg Steelers, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported late Sunday night. 

The deal will be a “team-friendly” one-year contract, which the Broncos, who announced they planned to cut Wilson last week, will pay $38 million of his salary while he’s playing in Pittsburgh, according to the report. 

Wilson had met with the Steelers on Friday, which also included a stop in New Jersey to meet with the Giants last Thursday, as Wilson started to map out his future after being cut by Denver after an unceremonious two years in the Mile High City. 

The decision to sign with the Steelers gives Pittsburgh a veteran option to compete with Kenny Pickett next season and it’s an opportunity for a fresh start to prove that he can be an effective option for a team. 

This is a developing story.
