Russell Wilson
QB - Pittsburgh Steelers
2024 Outlook
Veteran QB Russell Wilson plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a "team-friendly, one-year deal."
Fantasy Impact
Wilson has not yet been officially released by the Broncos, but when he is released, he will join the Steelers. Wilson can take a light contract given the hefty price the Broncos will continue to pay him while he is on another team. He threw for 3,070 yards and 26 touchdowns last season.

Wilson threw for 26 touchdowns and 3,070 yards last season.

The Denver Broncos have granted Russell Wilson permission to immediately begin speaking and meeting with other teams in their home cities.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson will be released when the new year begins next week. It remains to be seen what teams will draw interest in him in free agency, but he'll likely receive a short-term deal after spending the past two years in Denver.
The Broncos have informed QB Russell Wilson that they will release him at the start of the league year.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson being released on March 13 would allow the team to distribute his dead cap hit over the next two seasons. The veteran should have multiple suitors that are in need of a veteran starting quarterback. The Broncos and Sean Payton will have an opportunity to look towards the future as they select a new quarterback heading into the 2024 season.
