Russell Wilson<\/strong> signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong> after being released by the Denver Broncos<\/strong>. His former team will pay him $37 million more than his current team to play against them on their home field in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That's a real thing that will happen next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not guaranteed that Wilson is going to start for the Steelers. He will have to beat out Kenny Pickett during training camp to earn that role. Nothing is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of whether Mike Tomlin goes with the third-year first round pick or the 13th-year Super Bowl champion as his starter, Wilson will travel to Colorado this fall. The Broncos are going to pay him a lot of money to be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, they will pay him more money than the NFL<\/a> team they are playing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Denver released Wilson last week. Pittsburgh signed Wilson on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the Associated Press<\/a>, the latter is reportedly going to pay him the veteran minimum of $1.21 million. The former will have to cover the remainder of the $39 million that he is owed for this upcoming season. That is a total of more than $37 million!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Should Wilson win the Steelers' starting job, a unique scenario is set to unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The NFL regular season consists of 17 games. Denver will pay Russell Wilson<\/a> approximately $2.1 million per game during the 2024\/25 season. Pittsburgh will pay him approximately $70,589 per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
