The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a significant move by signing quarterback Russell Wilson, with plans to secure him on a longer-term deal at the end of the 2024 season. This decision comes despite Wilson being currently only under contract for the upcoming season. The strategy indicates that Wilson is guaranteed the QB1 position for now, but this could change based on his performance. The move has raised some eyebrows, considering the Steelers have also traded for a player in a contract year, necessitating a financial decision in the near future.

The Steelers reportedly plan to sign Russell Wilson to a longer deal after 2024. It's a reminder that he's QB1, for now, and it will be forgotten if Wilson doesn't play well in Pittsburgh. https://t.co/MslBcec4gk
So the Pittsburgh Steelers just signed Russell Wilson guaranteeing him the job just to trade for a player that’s in a contract year that they’ll need to pay a year from today? Seems like a bad move.
