Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson revealed during the latest episode of Hard Knocks that he has no plans of leaving the Steel City following the 2024 season. Wilson, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in March, is set to become an unrestricted free agent.
During the opening of Wilson and his wife Ciara’s first ‘Why Not You’ center in Pittsburgh, Wilson was asked by a young Steelers fan if likes playing in Pittsburgh.
“Yeah, I love it here. It’s awesome,” Wilson answered.
Wilson was then asked if he’s going to re-sign with the Steelers.
“Hopefully, I love it here. It’s cool. Hopefully we’re going to win a Super Bowl,” Wilson replied.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to re-sign quarterback Wilson this offseason, according to NFL insider Dianna Russini.
“The free-agent QB market is lacking, with Sam Darnold and Russell Wilson among the top names — though Wilson is expected to stay with the Steelers and the Vikings could decide to keep Darnold if he’s willing to be a backup,” Russini wrote.
Wilson, who turned 36 on Nov. 29, is 6-2 since entering the starting lineup in Week 7. He has completed 64.7% of his passes for 1,912 yards with 13 touchdowns, three interceptions, and a quarterback rating of 103.0.
In a recent interview with Hannah Storm of ESPN, Wilson wasn’t shy about wanting to play much longer than a season or two.
“I definitely want to play another five to seven more years, you know, I think that’s always been my goal,” Wilson said when asked about his time left now that his children are growing up. “I’ve been very clear about that since the beginning. I think that’s always been my mindset is, you know, the longevity of the game.”
