The Pittsburgh Steelers traded a 2026 sixth-round compensatory pick acquired from Russell Wilson’s departure to the Indianapolis Colts on April 25, 2026, as part of a deal for wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. The selection, designated as No. 214 overall, was originally awarded by the NFL after Wilson signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract with the New York Giants during the 2025 free agency period.
As reported by behindthesteelcurtain.com, Wilson started 11 games for Pittsburgh in 2024, finishing with a 6-5 record and a Wild Card round appearance. His tenure with the Giants in 2025 saw a season-high 450-yard performance against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2, but he was eventually benched for rookie Jaxson Dart following an 0-3 start and a hamstring injury.
Simultaneously, a waterfront land parcel in West Bellevue formerly owned by Wilson and his wife, Ciara, is being marketed as a $28 million luxury estate. According to hoodline.com, the Shoreland Drive site includes a pre-sale opportunity for an 8,200-square-foot mansion designed by builder Roger MacPherson, featuring 110 feet of Lake Washington shoreline.
The City of Bellevue recently issued a shoreline substantial development permit for a new 100-foot residential dock at the property. This approval, documented under File No. 24-123210-WG, includes provisions for boat lifts and 14 supporting piles, following a determination of non-significance under the State Environmental Policy Act.
Public records show that the site is separate from Wilson’s larger neighboring mansion, which sold for approximately $21.25 million in 2024. The current listing on Shoreland Drive includes plans for an infinity-edge pool and a multi-car garage, capitalizing on views of the Seattle skyline.
Wilson, who passed for 831 yards during his stint in New York, entered the 2026 off-season as a free agent following the expiration of his Giants contract. Construction on the Bellevue property remains pending the expiration of procedural appeal windows for the approved shoreline permits.
