The NFL’s official Twitter account posted “.@DangeRussWilson is a Steeler!!”
The Denver Broncos will pay Wilson’s $38 million salary for 2024 while he plays for the Steelers for $1.2 million.
The Broncos cut Wilson before the March 17 deadline, which would have guaranteed his $37.5 million salary for 2025.
Wilson and his wife, Ciara, listed 2 mansions on the market for a combined $51 million.
Their mansion in Washington state has sat on the market for 2 years. They continue to pay mortgages, property taxes, utilities and maintenance fees on both properties.
