Cheap QB for this year at least. They probably believe the rest of the roster is ready to compete.

Re: Wilson gets another big bag
Russell Wilson ranked 27th (38.7) and 21st (50.7) in QBR in 2022 and 2023 respectively, if you think that's on the system or team around him, then you're delusional. The reality is that he declined rapidly because his style of play was never going to age well. He was never a true pocket passer and relied heavily on broken plays and scrambles out of the pocket. As he got older and slowed down and was forced to be a pocket passer, the warts started to show. The Seahawks knew this.
His tenure in Denver was legacy damaging. It ruined his aura and exposed him.
The Steelers had the 5th worst pass blocking offensive line last season. So, I'm skeptical that this move will be a success.

Someone said this morning though that Payton was not doing Wilson any favors in the play calling last season.

Russ wasn't a fit. Payton wants a guy who plays within structure. Can see & use the middle of the field. Russ does neither.

Re: Wilson gets another big bag
Jeudy route running was elite compared to Sutton, so when it comes to accurate on script passers, he is the most invaluable receiver on the Broncos roster by far. His issue was trying to stay healthy.Cactus Jack wrote:wco81 wrote:He threw a couple of 50-50 balls to Jeudy which didn’t come close to being caught.
As it turned out, better to work the ball down the field to tie the game.
Jeudy isn't a 50-50 guy. That would be Sutton. But he was out. Denver currently just doesn't have a ton of difference makers on that side of the ball. Javonte Williams doesn't seem to be the same player since the injury. He looks like he's moving in quicksand.

What the hell?
https://football.realgm.com/wiretap/50856/Report-Steelers-Russell-Wilson-Expect-Long-Term-Deal-After-Season
Why would the Steelers give him a long contract?
I thought the appeal of signing him was that he was cheap this year and probably next.
But beyond that, it would be dumb to pay him big money when he'll be 36 at the end of November and presumably a new deal would kick in when he's 37-38.
Is he going to lift the Steelers over the Ravens and Bengals? Or even the Browns, which are loaded other than QB?
Not to mention, even if Steelers somehow make the playoffs, come on Wilson isn't leading that team on a run, unless they have like a dominant defense and he only has to put up 15-20 points a game, which would have to ride a very strong running game.
So after this season or next, Steelers would have to pay either Wilson or Turner, if he's still on the team.
Or they'd have to try to move up and draft a franchise QB. If they don't do it this draft, who knows if the next couple of QB draft classes are going to be particularly strong.
I guess the Steelers have high expectations but unfortunately their division rivals are around the peak of their roster-building cycles.
They may be better off rebuilding, finding their next QB through high draft picks. But that fan base probably won't endure that since it's been awhile since they made the playoffs or did anything in the playoffs.
