Russell Wilson on staying in Pittsburgh: “Hopefully, I love it here”
Russell Wilson hopes his first year with the Steelers won’t be his last.
Hard Knocks documented an event in Pittsburgh for the Why Not You Foundation founded by Wilson and his wife Ciara, at which a child asked Wilson if he likes playing for the Steelers.
“Yeah, I love it. It’s awesome,” Wilson answered.
Asked if he’s going to re-sign with the Steelers, Wilson answered, “Hopefully, I love it here. It’s cool. Hopefully we’re going to win a Super Bowl.”
This year Wilson is giving the Steelers the NFL’s biggest bargain, playing for a league-minimum salary of $1.2 million because his contract with the Broncos, who cut him in the offseason, guaranteed that he was going to make $39 million this year whether from the Broncos or anyone else. He took the least he could take from Pittsburgh and made Denver pay the balance.
But Wilson is slated to become a free agent in March, and he has proven this year that he’s still capable of starting in the NFL. He’s going to command starter’s money, but he may decide to prioritize playing in a place where he’s comfortable, and Pittsburgh is that place.
