How many people were (and still are) willing to write off QB Russell Wilson after his time in Denver with the Broncos? The answer is a lot. But the Pittsburgh Steelers organization was not among that group. It didn’t take long at all for the Steelers to bring Wilson in for a visit. And it didn’t take long for the two sides to make a deal.
The partnership certainly makes sense. The Steelers needed a proven veteran quarterback, and Russell Wilson brings plenty of winning experience to Pittsburgh. It’s also a good opportunity to bounce back from his time in Denver.
