Well, it’s finally done.
After months of speculation and wondering what quarterback would end up in Pittsburgh, the Steelers are signing Russell Wilson to a one-year deal worth $1.2 million.
My initial thoughts on the deal are somewhat layered, so I’ll start with this: they are in a better spot than they were 24 hours ago.
Wilson is a better quarterback than Kenny Pickett. His 26 touchdowns in 2023 are more than all Steelers quarterbacks combined since Ben Roethlisberger retired (25). He also took an evident step forward in his second year in Denver.
