PITTSBURGH -- With coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan standing to his right, new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson was clear about his motivation in signing with the Steelers for the 13th year of his decorated NFL career.

"I wanted to be able to win championships with Coach Tomlin and these guys in the locker room," Wilson said Friday afternoon, speaking publicly for the first time since signing a one-year contract for the veteran minimum with the Steelers. "... It's a great place to be grateful for the opportunity to be able to get after it and do what we came here to do.
