It was the addition of a big name at a premium position, but it came at a very cheap cost, making it a good move right away.
Entering Week 15 and sitting at 10-3 on the season, including 6-1 with him as the starting quarterback, the offseason signing of veteran quarterback Russell Wilson to a one-year, $1.21 million deal in free agency by the Pittsburgh Steelers is now easily one of the best moves of the offseason.
But, according to Pro Football Focus, it’s not even the best one at the position.
In assessing the NFL’s offseason free agency moves, PFF’s Bradley Locker ranks the Minnesota Vikings’ signing of Sam Darnold to a one-year, $10 million deal as the league’s best move at the QB position, not Wilson.
