Couple of points to make here:
1 Had a Steelers fan at work who was irritated whenever I called them the Pissburg Squeelers.
2 Russ had a decent year passing, statistically.
3 He doesn't need a big contract as Denver is on the hook for his salary for the next two years to the tune of nearly 40 mil/year which is why he can sign a "team-friendly" contract while simultaneously delivering a big "fuck-you" to the Broncos.
Not so sure about that , Wilson would have preferred going to the Raiders, Possibly wanting to further stick it to the Broncos twice a year .
Who at QB do the Raiders have that may , but doubtful be better than Wilson ? The Raiders haven’t been able to get the QB right since Gannon .
A one year deal for just over a million, Steelers saw the wisdom , but as usual the Raiders can’t seem to get out of their own way .
Nice work if you can get it

I hope Wagner stays here….if we can afford him.
The Broncos are only on the hook for his salary this season. They would have been on the hook for his 2025 salary if they hadn't cut him before March 13th. The remaining cap hit (~$80M) is what is spread out over the next two years. Broncos don't owe him anything directly in 2025.
The confusion may stem from the fact that cap hits have to account for prorated signing bonuses etc. And if a player is cut, the remaining prorated money gets accelerated to all count on the cap for the season that the player was cut. The only tool teams have is to designate the player as a "post June 1" cut which allows the team to spread the cap hit over two seasons (which is what the Broncos have done). Plus, with RW's salary being ~$40M and the cap hit being ~$80M over two years, it's easy to think he's getting paid by them for two years.
My beloved Patsies are flush with cash to spend in free agency. What this really means is that they do not have very many good players. Good players make more money.
It also means that they could win free agency. Winning free agency is among the worst possible things an NFL team can do. Free agency champions are rarely victorious on the field the following year.
Not ideal.

The players get what the market will bear.
CEO's are a bit of a different story IMO.
Steelers Country, Let's Weld
They will be getting a qb in the draft…Not so sure about that , Wilson would have preferred going to the Raiders, Possibly wanting to further stick it to the Broncos twice a year .
Who at QB do the Raiders have that may , but doubtful be better than Wilson ? The Raiders haven’t been able to get the QB right since Gannon .
And as far as free agency deals so far, the Raiders have hit a home run with getting Wilkins from the Dolphins…
By the way, two different Raider qb’s beat Wilson last year…Not so sure about that , Wilson would have preferred going to the Raiders, Possibly wanting to further stick it to the Broncos twice a year .

They also beat the Chiefs , but it wasn’t their QB play. Crosby totally messed up Mahomes .Yet Wilson beat Mahomes , and who won the Superbowl. On any given Sunday .
No denying the fact , Wilson is still a better QB than any the Raiders have right now . Sean Payton was never going to support or give him a real chance to succeed, pretty obvious he didn’t like Wilson . He even bailed out on Wilson , and they still had a shot at the playoffs . He’d rather pay Wilson what nearly 80 million over two years to get rid of him .
'Cept he ain't the one actually paying him.
