The Pittsburgh Steelers have been very active this offseason. Now, the AFC North team has added a new weapon to their arsenal, signing the most versatile player in the NFL for Russell Wilson’s offense.

Following a disappointing 2023 season, the Steelers decided to make a lot of changes for the upcoming campaign. In this free agency market, the six-time Super Bowl champions have added several players, including a brand new quarterback.
