He's really not much more than decent veteran DE depth. He was either underperforming or injured or a combo of the two throughout his time in KC. He did seem to turn it up in the playoffs though, I will say that. I'm not surprised there wasn't much of a market for him at this point.Surprised he only got a 1 year deal
Going to be hard for Denver to do what they really want and part ways with Russ with all of that dead cap pending. Is he tradable? Not unless he restructures his contract which I believe has the 2025 base salary becoming fully guaranteed come the first week of the 2024 league year. 2024 base is fully guaranteed.
I do not think another team would take Russ unless he agrees to push the 2025 base salary guarantee until March 2025 to give the team a chance to see how he performs first.
Denver is going to have to redo some contracts to take the hit on Russ.
If it’s going the way it’s going, I don’t know how that can continue.Are there rumors that the Broncos will move on from Wilson after this season?
Denver needs to reboot their roster. Unless the major drop on D is solely on the change in DC.Are there rumors that the Broncos will move on from Wilson after this season?

Wilson has been better this season, but not good enough to warrant the contract & cap charge.Yeah they probably will bite the bullet with the dead cap, Russell Wilson has been trash since leaving Seattle. But hey, he wanted this…he wanted to be ‘on his own’ and not ‘be under Pete Carroll’s’ system. Turns out that system pretty much what got him to what he became, Wilson has been horrible being on his own. He’s not a true pocket passer, he makes plays while moving his legs.
Whoever convinced him to brand himself and be this alpha dog needs to be fired, probably people from his entourage who’s been feeding him bad advice.
He's very streaky from quarter to quarter, and some of those stats are in garbage time.Wilson hasn't been horrible this year, would be pacing for 33 TD:s with 6 INT:s at the moment, no one cares or remembers that though when the Broncos are losing games by historic margins.

I think it gets worse due to the 2025 base salary being guaranteed a week after the start of the 2024 league year in March 2024. So if you keep him in 2024 then the 2025 base salary becomes guaranteed. So really not any better off just kicking the can down the road still.The way Mark schlereth was explained the contract
Is after June 1st they will this offseason if they were to do it
But surprisingly it gets worse after that if they do it the following offseason
Also eye test doesn’t fit with Wilson
PFF broke it down as empty Calories for him.
Lost mobility.Possibly the worst trade/signing ever. Wilson sucks and doesn’t even care that he sucks.
I like the comeuppance for Sean Payton, though.
We've had a few QBs recently do good things playing into their mid and late 30s, so it has opened the door for QB-desperate teams to think it's worth taking a shot adding one. But the few guys who have done amazing things at later ages remain outliers.Possibly the worst trade/signing ever. Wilson sucks and doesn’t even care that he sucks.

Most of those were pocket passers. Russ is dependent on his mobility. Losing some of that makes him a sitting duck as he’s not a real pocket guy. Needs to move otherwise he’s a sitting duck being a short QB.We've had a few QBs recently do good things playing into their mid and late 30s, so it has opened the door for QB-desperate teams to think it's worth taking a shot adding one.
