It’s only fitting that the NFL’s biggest contractual “steal” of the 2024 offseason goes to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Former NFL agent Joel Corry named the Steelers signing QB Russell Wilson to a one-year deal last March as the biggest steal of the offseason from a contract and value perspective.
“The Steelers got a veteran starting quarterback for as cheap as possible after the Broncos released Wilson last March. Wilson was willing to take a one-year deal for only his league-minimum $1.21 million salary because his $39 million 2024 base salary in the five-year, $245 million contract extension he received from the Broncos during the 2022 preseason was fully guaranteed at signing.
