Russell Wilson has dropped a bombshell on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason plans, reportedly demanding a staggering price tag to stay with the team beyond his one-year stint in 2024. According to sources close to the nine-time Pro Bowler, Wilson is seeking a three-year, $90 million extension with $60 million guaranteed—a figure that has stunned Steelers brass and ignited fierce debate among fans, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.

Wilson, 36, revitalized his career in Pittsburgh last season, starting 10 games with a 6-4 record, throwing for 2,569 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions, while adding 368 rushing yards. His veteran presence steadied a Steelers offense featuring George Pickens and D.K. Metcalf, but his $1.21 million veteran-minimum deal—subsidized by $37.8 million from the Denver Broncos—expires this offseason. Now, with no Broncos money incoming, Wilson’s camp is aiming high. “He believes he’s still a top-tier QB and wants to be paid like one,” a source told Schefter.

The reported $30 million annual average would rank Wilson among the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks, dwarfing the Steelers’ current cap space of $10-15 million after signings like J.K. Dobbins and Juan Thornhill. “Massive overpay for a 36-year-old,” one fan fumed on X (@SteelCityFan), while another countered, “Pay him! He’s our best shot since Big Ben” (@BurghFaithful).

GM Omar Khan, who’s juggled offers to Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields, faces a dilemma: meet Wilson’s demands or pivot elsewhere. With the draft looming and Steelers Nation hungry for a playoff win, Wilson’s price tag could reshape Pittsburgh’s future—or send him packing.
