Russell Wilson, a quarterback with nine Pro Bowl selections, is set for a career reboot with the Pittsburgh Steelers following two underwhelming seasons at the Denver Broncos. The 35-year-old footballer has inked a one-year agreement with the Steelers, under which the Broncos will pay the remainder of his $39 million salary. Wilson, enthusiastic about joining the Steelers, shared his optimism for his upcoming “Year 13” in the NFL via a tweet.

Despite facing difficulties during his tenure with the Denver Broncos, Wilson managed to demonstrate his proficiency by accumulating over 3,000 yards, scoring 26 touchdowns, and limiting himself to eight interceptions in the 2023 season. As he joins the Pittsburgh Steelers, he is poised to compete with Kenny Pickett for the prime quarterback position, aiming to propel the Steelers beyond their recent playoff disappointment.

Simultaneously in the NFL, quarterback Baker Mayfield has clinched a three-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, thereby ensuring his stay with the team following a commendable performance in the 2023 season. Mayfield, who was previously on a one-year arrangement with the Buccaneers, impressed with over 4,000 passing yards and 28 touchdowns. His efforts were instrumental in leading the Buccaneers to their third straight NFC South championship.

Mayfield’s contract renewal was declared shortly after the Buccaneers managed to secure a two-year, $52 million agreement with star receiver Mike Evans. Both contracts underscore the players’ intent to further the Buccaneers’ achievements and solidify their standing within the competitive landscape of the NFL.
