Wilson's release will end a disappointing chapter for both sides. The Broncos went 11-19 in Wilson's starts over two seasons and failed to make the playoffs.

The Broncos signed Wilson to a five-year, $242.6 million deal after his arrival and will take an $85 million hit in dead money over the next two seasons because of the release.

Don’t do it Falcons. I’m begging you, please don’t. PLEASE.

They’re gonna do it, I just know it.

Kirk Cousins going to Atlanta

As a Broncos fan, this doesn't feel great. We all knew it was coming, so it's no surprise. Still, I feel like our team has serious problems and Russell Wilson wasn't the only thing holding us back. Yeah, he's not playing like a Super Bowl quarterback, but he proved this season that he can win some games.

I just feel like us eating all the dead money we owe him that we're going to be broke AND looking for a quarterback again. FML.

Well, you could still have him on the roster, be broke, and be looking for a new quarterback. Eating all this dead money isn’t the problem. It was signing him to a huge contract before he ever took a snap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I think every Broncos fan was scratching their head in confusion when we gave him such a huge extension without even seeing him play a preseason game.

It’s just wild that Russ managed to keep completely clean throughout the dispute and left them with no choice but to pay him either way. I think dude has lost the fire he once had for the game as his life off the field has evolved, which is great for him, but if I’m the Broncos front office I’m pissed we got duped by this guy for sure.

As a Vikings fan, no hate for Denver, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t happy this caused some stress and frustration for Payton. I hope he stubs his toe and it never recovers. Just aches like it’s fresh for the rest of his miserable life.

Maybe a little gooch ache too

So its official, Seattle orchestrated the biggest fleece jobs in sport history, bravo John Schneider, bravo.

I’d put down the Browns trade for Watson the same year as slightly worse.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the Browns KNEW they were getting an "alleged" sex offender. The Broncos thought they were getting a hall of famer in his prime, instead they got a washed QB and took a massive cap hit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

But the Browns guaranteed all the money, and Denver didn’t.

Russ: Broncos Country, let's ride

Broncos front office: No Russ, just you ride bud. Just you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Our team and our fans are bipolar, but at least my Jags aren't in the market for a washed up QB right now. I guess this could humble Russell and let him see what he truly has left in the tank, but I don't think so.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Chiefs win back to back titles and the Donkeys are in cap hell for the foreseeable future. We are truly living in the best timeline.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I beg to differ sir.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Guess the broncos are going for a QB this draft.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How about Wilson to Steelers? Eh?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Wilson to Falcons could also work.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I like Russ, good for him. But as a fantasy player an 11-14 point QB isn’t the dude thats gonna move the needle so idk why the Broncos thought he would.
