Seahawks Ex Russell Wilson Sends Message After Signing With Steelers: 'Grateful!'

The NFL world got hit with some major news on Sunday night when it was reported that former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will be signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the start of the new league year.

Wilson, who visited Pittsburgh last week, confirmed the news on social media by posting a video that was captioned "Year 13. Grateful" and tagged the Steelers' official X account.

Beware, Steelers fans. The following video might give you some chills.

Take a look:

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Wilson is signing a "team-friendly, one-year" contract.

"Nine-time Pro-Bowl QB and former Super-Bowl champ Russell Wilson plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per league sources," Schefter tweeted. "Wilson will sign a team-friendly, one-year deal in which the Broncos will wind up paying $38 million of his salary while Wilson wears the black and yellow."

Wilson will now look for a fresh start on a team that's made it to the playoffs in three of the past four seasons, something Wilson has failed to do in the last three years.
