The #Broncos are benching QB Russell Wilson and will start Jarrett Stidham on Sunday vs. the Chargers.

Wilson has $37M that becomes guaranteed if he can't pass a physical in the offseason. Denver could try to get out of his contract this offseason — and this could be a step towards that happening.

Sources: The #Broncos are strongly considering having QB Russell Wilson sit for the final two games, preserving financial flexibility for the offseason.

Wilson has $37M in 2025 salary that vests in March of 2024, and if he suffered a serious injury, it would complicate matters.

No, but they have the worst odds of the non-elmininated AFC teams due to the tiebreakers.

When you throw away your Hall of Fame chances by going with the money over a better situation

Just looking at his stats, it's pretty crazy how much better they look than last year's. (Not that it could get any worse than last year )

You have to move him after this right?

I think they will just take the hit and buy him out/cut him.

They want to move on.

If the Denver Broncos bench Russell Wilson for Jarrett Stidham, this is a clear indication that they will move on from Wilson after this season. If this happens, this will also tell you Bronco's ownership has full trust in Sean Payton.

So presuming Russell Wilson is cut, his deal will have cost the Broncos $124 million for two years, when he was already under contract for those years at the time of the trade for $51 million (a $73 million raise).

Add that to all the picks that went to Seattle and ... Yikes.

That’s absolutely crazy! I guess Taysom Hill will get a huge bag from them next year.

Wow, Peyton stuck with Russ long enough to show he could win with him. He got so much shite for his comment about Hackett he had to prove it before moving on.
