Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Wilson is signing a "team-friendly, one-year" contract.

"Nine-time Pro-Bowl QB and former Super-Bowl champ Russell Wilson plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per league sources," Schefter tweeted. "Wilson will sign a team-friendly, one-year deal in which the Broncos will wind up paying $38 million of his salary while Wilson wears the black and yellow."
