Everybody loves a bargain, even owners of NFL teams. In honor of Black Friday, we searched all 32 rosters to find the best deals.
Quarterback | Russell Wilson | Pittsburgh Steelers
Ten years and two teams removed from leading the Seahawks to victory in Super Bowl XLVIII, Wilson is now the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback. It took him seven weeks to take the job from Justin Fields, but the team is now 4-1 with Wilson in the lineup.
After signing a five-year, $242.5M contract extension with Denver in 2022, Wilson agreed to a one-year, $1.2M deal with Pittsburgh, $2M less than Fields and well below most backup quarterbacks in the NFL. He’ll still receive over $37M from the Broncos, but none of it counts against the Steelers’ cap.
Running Back | Tyrone Tracy Jr. | New York Giants
Like Wilson, it took Tracy several weeks to win the starting job, but he’s now the team’s leading rusher, averaging 5.1 yards per carry for 587 yards. New York took Tracy in the fifth round of this year’s draft, two months after signing free-agent running back Devin Singletary to a three-year, $16.5M contract.
