While Russell Wilson was confirming his reported signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he and his singer-actress wife Ciara were strutting the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party on Sunday in Los Angeles.
The soiree at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills also included other Hollywood A-listers, such as Chrissy Teigen, Kerry Washington and Donald Glover, but Wilson may have been the most newsworthy attendee on Sunday night.
It was only hours earlier that multiple reports emerged that the former Super Bowl winner would be signing a one-year deal with the Steelers after being cut by the Broncos, who will be paying the remainder of his $37.8 million salary while he plays for Pittsburgh.
For Wilson, the one-year deal with Pittsburgh is a tremendous opportunity following his ugly exit in Denver. Other teams were reportedly interested in adding the former Seahawks star and he even met with the New York Giants before signing with the Steelers, according to CBS Sports.
