Russell Wilson's Next NFL Team Revealed

Free agent quarterback Russell Wilson plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers once free agency officially begins on Wednesday (March 13).

Wilson confirmed his decision in a video shared on his X account Sunday (March 10) night.

"Year 13. Grateful. @Steelers ," Wilson wrote.

NFL Network 's Ian Rapoport reports that Wilson visited the Steelers and the New York Giants prior to his decision and, with the Broncos "paying most of the $39 million" he's still owed for the 2024 season, "it's a cheap starting QB option to compete with" former first-round pick Kenny Pickett .

Wilson, 35, was released by the Broncos last week ahead of the beginning of the 2024 NFL calendar year. The former Super Bowl champion was benched by the Broncos ahead of the final two games of the 2023 season, the team's first under Payton, which signaled the end of his tenure with the franchise after being acquired in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks in 2022.

Wilson signed a five-year, $242.6 million extension months after being acquired by Denver. The 35-year-old threw for 3,070 yards, 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions on 297 of 447 passing, while also recording 341 yards and three touchdowns on 80 rushing attempts, leading the Broncos to a 7-8 record in 15 starts in 2023.

NFL free agency will officially begin on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. ET.
