The Pittsburgh Steelers are projected to sign quarterback Russell Wilson to a three-year, $100 million contract. Wilson, who is set to become a free agent, has expressed interest in returning to the Steelers, and the team seems willing to retain him despite his age and recent performance.
The contract projection is based on Wilson’s performance this season, where he led the Steelers to a 10-3 record and a playoff berth. Although his production declined towards the end of the season, Wilson has proven himself to be a capable starter, and the Steelers may be willing to invest in him for the next few years.
It’s worth noting that Wilson’s age, 36, is a concern for a multi-year deal. However, if he can maintain his current level of performance, the Steelers may be willing to take that risk. Additionally, the team may also consider drafting a quarterback in the first three rounds of the upcoming draft to develop for the future.
