Bronco Country bids farewell to Russell Wilson as he embarks on a new journey with Steeler Nation.
On Friday, Wilson officially inked his free agent deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In a video shared on the Steelers’ official platform, Wilson expressed his excitement about joining the team and anticipated the upcoming 2024 season.
“Hey, Steeler Nation! Just put pen to paper, baby! Pumped to sport the black and gold. Here we go!” Wilson exclaimed.
His announcement quickly gained traction, garnering over 1,600 likes and hundreds of retweets within the first 10 minutes. Fans wasted no time brainstorming new catchphrases for him, reminiscent of his iconic “Bronco Country, let’s ride!”

“Steelers Nation, let’s forge some steel or something,” one fan suggested.
“Russ’s cringe level instantly dropped 75 points in this video #herewego,” commented another.
“Steeler Nation, let’s forge ahead!” a third fan proposed, hoping to spark something fresh.
Despite Wilson’s move, he joins the Steelers on a budget-friendly contract, thanks to his substantial earnings from the Denver Broncos, who recently released him.
The past two seasons have been challenging for Wilson, marking a departure from his usual Pro Bowl-caliber performances during his tenure with the Seattle Seahawks. With the 2024 season ahead with the Steelers, it remains to be seen if Wilson can reclaim his status as a top-tier NFL quarterback or if his previous success was merely a product of circumstance.
