Check out the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
That podcast Trash yall should take away his segments of nicks tiers it’s completely Bias and Ridiculous rigged I unsubscribe to fox because of him
sean payton is overrated & a pawn for the owner
Nick wright. One of the trash and dumbest sports analyst out there
Why don’t you talk about Russ demanding Pete and the GM be fire, and hire Sean Payton; in Seattle?
Article in “The Atlantic”.
Now it’s “authentic Russ”
All of you let Russ cook drama queens🙄🙄🙄
@@MrAtracc Nick wright is by far the dumbest sports analyst.
NFL is the only place that billionaires can call millionaires selfish for not taking pay cuts and fans just eat it up. Glad Russ spoke up for himself
NBA also
Agree.
Thanks, Shannon Sharpe. We have heard you make that statement for the last 7 years
The NFL and NBA.
Lol yea unc been saying that since he been on espn
The Waltons tried to “Great Value” Russell Wilson’s contract 😂
Great Value…..lol if you know anything about the Walton’s they’re from north west Arkansas. That tells me everything….
😂😂😂
@@Stang2016 facts😂😂😂
@@thetouchdown7950Fo Sho…..
Mfs tried to Roll back on Russ 🙄🤣🤦🏽♂️
I agree Russ is positive and positive ppl get hate because they don't stoop to negative ppl level
We seen Sherm and Lynch show negative signs like simply talk to media or even off the field stuff
The Broncos need to be ashamed. I appulad Russ for speaking out. You gonna tell a grown man to take a pay cut during week 8 it's disgraceful
Especially when he signed the contract
broncos done gave Bill Russ for only 18 mil 😂
dude this happens literally every week on every team
Do you all say the same thing when a player under contract demands an extension/new contract because they are playing well?
@@zachb9223No it doesn’t. Tell me that in the off-season. Or better yet, tell me that 200 years ago - before football was played in America! Point proven!!!
They wanted him out because Sean wanted him out, Sean never set him up for success so Russ has to do it on his own. The dude hold it in for 2 months and played well, good for him.
Well said…..it was almost like Payton was simplifying the offensive play calling each week to start losing again to get rid of Russ.
Sean never set him up for success??😂🤣 That’s like saying Joe Biden never “intended” to help Putin, however he did take Oligarchs money 😂🤣🤣
@@robertbockwich881facts 💯
Russ has had losing seasons the prior 2 years. Only when Payton took over this year and “simplified the offense” did they actually start winning. But I’m sure Payton knows bubble screens and a QB who can only use 1/3rd the playbook is smoke and mirrors. They aren’t winning with Russ. So tear the bandaid off, and start over.
And I'm sorry but other guys getting paid just as much if not more than russ and they still tried to find ways to put good players around them. Burrow has chase, tee and Boyd. Deshaun for all his bs still got chubb, njoku and Cooper. Stafford gas nacua, kyren Williams and kupp. If you gave russ Lockett, dk and rbs that geno has, I guarantee that 6-8 record where he played hurt turns back to 13-4
So proud Russ spoke up for himself. I always respect him for the human he is
Liberals respecting liberals for the cheaters they are. Yes, taking ridiculous amounts of money is also a form of CHEATING
Facts 💯
Sometimes it's cringe worthy when he talks like a politician saying all the (football) cliches.
I don't. Fake human.
@@gayealisir5661Good people are fake to your broken soul.
The Broncos were once one of the class organizations with a winning culture that lasted 4 decades. Pat Bowlin is rolling over in his grave right now.
This owner is panthers owner family.both don't want to win.
So they’re classless for not letting a selfish scumbag rob them for more than he already has? 😂
They say that there are literally organizations that don’t care to win they just want to make money.
That part
Over and over. It’s been a mess since he died!
Broncos did him dirty for sure. Very disappointing that the organization is doing this.
Yeah he’s walking out with 150 million and they did him dirty.
@@pietervandyke5179 5 wins the previous season and 1-5 to start the next season, the timing was bad but they wasn't getting what they paid for.
Er no they didn’t do him dirty. They walked up to Peyton Manning and asked him to take a pay cut which he did. They walked up to Wilson and asked him to remove injury guarantee/pay cut which he refused. No criticism of either player’s decision.
When fans talk about players are greedy they should realise nfl contract headline figures are fairy tales. The player only receives what is guaranteed.
@broncosbest6441 it's the way they did it dude. Basically told him if you don't do it your being benched. F that! That was an ultimatum. They didn't ask him to take a pay cut they threatened him. Big difference!
@@maro10ssrs then they still played him after he refused, and he still won games. And Sean Payton still yelled in his face. These f**ckers tried to gaslight Russ, but he kept calm and played his game when he could. We all saw when he was forced into Payton’s archaic script. And we’ll see how lousy it is when the backup fails miserably. Karma.
I ain't never giving up no money so billionaires can save money ...da fck
Thank you
The NFL PA and the league need to investigate the Broncos for purposely trying to lose from week 8. The GM, George Payton, needs to be fired as well, he is the one who extended Russ in the first place.
Purposely lose? Russ couldn’t score on 65% of the drives where the defense gave them great field advantage. Last week the whole first half Denver was in the pats territory and only came up with 7 points to show for it. So many fkn casuals now a days that don’t watch the games and only look at stats
@@ravenfinch4455bro they have no weapons lol 😂 I don’t know one elite receiver on their team or tight end. They have no elite offensive weapons and to possibly win 8 games is good with that low talent offensive roster.
@clintinb5219 you don't need elite players to win games. Look at the patriots with Tom Brady when he didn't really have an elite receiver he made them elite, same with Peyton Manning with the colts when they didn't really have an elite offensive player
@@j13jimgaming48Brady never made anyone elite he just relied on quick dump offs out of the backfield, routes across the middle, screens and throws to the flats. He could make perfect pre snap reads that allowed his guys to get lots of YAC. Edelman, hogan, branch, white, amendola were never considered elite. Patriots also ran from under center and play action a lot which took pressure off Brady.
Peyton had two HOFers in Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison 😂 then went to a stacked broncos team with an all time defense that could run man coverage a majority of the time and blitz with von miller and ware 😂😂😂
@@j13jimgaming48 you are right bro but everyone know russel is not that level and even the broncos should know he is not that level. Russ is good but not in Brady, rodgers, manning levels. It’s levels and how can me a regular fan know that and the GM making millions not know that. He is a good quarterback that need good players to take you to the finis line but if he doesn’t have it he cannot take you by himself so his GM should know that if I know that. Russ in have career in my opinion has been between number 5-10 but only the elites of the elites can carry the teams to win with average players. You can win with russ but you also need good players because in russ whole career we know he is not on Brady, manning, rodgers and now mahomes level. If the GM does not know that he should be fired.
Imagine being in the middle of a big project at work, with a deadline, building a house, and the owner says, "I am going to fire you and have you watch someone else finish this house, unless you decide to take less money". Then imagine yourself ignoring them and finishing the house, despite them yelling at you the whole time, that's what Wilson had to deal with.
And yeah, Wilson is making massive money, but it doesn't mean you can treat him like trash.
well said .. motivation out the door
Most would have demo team there that night. The undercover of darkness tear down any of the work.
More power to Russ for saying no. Then proceed to keep playing them into a good record coming into the backend of the season. He could have just quit on both the Payton’s and outed them, but didn’t. They will have theirs coming from them one day and that could be them blackballed out of a NFL team ever again
In what world does it ever make sense for your boss to come to you and say, "Hey, I need to pay you less money to keep working, or I'm going to have to send you home and pay you more." and then you reply, "Sure, let's do that."?
Thank you! It's ridiculous.
In the NFL world
Lots of businesses where upper management has to take loses or else the company might fold. There have been many of these such moves in the business world it’s not new 😂
Just look up CEOs let go with massive “severance” packages so they can buy out their contract and hire who they think might improve the company long term. It happens a lot in the business world!
@@mikehatten5738 1.) In a typical company structure like what you're describing, players are not considered "upper management". They are a hybrid of "workforce" and "product".
2.) Even in the example you describe it STILL makes more sense for the CEO or C-suite exec being asked to give up money and keep working to say "No thanks. I think I'll take you paying me more money to not work." So you made the same point that I did.
Stuff like this makes me think that even things in Seattle didn’t go down the way that we thought they did
Yup. You never see Russ bashing people. But Seattle did. So I’m with you.
Sherman, Marshawn and Pete. You can look at them all different. Russ kept his mouth closed.
Lifelong Broncos fan, and I am disappointed that this was the way in which the Broncos decided to conduct business. I can't help but think this wouldn't have gone on under Mr Bowlen. What a shame.
I don't think Wilson was the guy, but to do it in this manner is unacceptable.
I think it’s a completely acceptable manner. They’re wayyy over paying him! They came to him privately, out of respect. They talked to him man to man. They asked him to please reduce the contract to an acceptable value, so that they could keep him.
Agreed
@@charlesg7926thats not what they said guy
@charlesg7926 Who’s fault is it that he’s overpaid? They offered him the contract. I’m sure you mess up at work. Whenever it happens should management ask you for a pay cut?
If somebody offered you a deal 245 millionaire dollars would you accept a pay cut when your team owners make billions. Plus Russ money guaranteed who wouldn't want 35 million a year @@charlesg7926
Payton has been unprofessional and a clown show this season. And the GM should be benched for the lack of offensive weapons while expecting winning results 🤦🏽♂️
We have weapons everywhere except TE. Russ can't see the te (i.e. seattle) or read defenses. But broncos were wrong
He was unprofessional in New Orleans as well with the Bountygate scandal.
@@malidjibril3375he won a chip in Seattle 😂
@@LunaticTheCatit’s almost as if we all forgot about this, even me
Sean Peyton has no integrity. He lied to us about why he is benching him. This team is still in playoff contention. It’s not smart to make changes like this in a middle of a playoff run
They are not winning anything
@@socalgolf9978 that may be the case but they are still mathematically still in it. And Sean said he wants to win the next two games so my question for you is are they trying to win just to win or do they want to make the playoffs? The thing is I am a chief fan so I have no horse in this race but the way the broncos are going about trying to change his contract after they signed it is wrong
We knew it was a lie. He just didn't think Russ would speak up.
Imagine if the giants with Eli manning had the same logic when they won the Superbowl? They got lucky and made the playoffs
Lmao every coach lies to. Cry about it
Sean's play calling is horrible and Russ still found ways to win games!
Sean might have done that to get rid of Russ... those horrible calls on purpose... sick
His play calling was very suspect to me in that Patriot’s game. Now it’s very suspicious.
Maybe Russ doesn’t want to follow the coaches play calls
The issue is about paying him guaranteed money in case he gets injured.
Russ would NEVER do that. How many more examples of professionalism do you need from this guy? Hater mentality, the one yelling on the side line wasn't him!@@kimnewburn1
Russ is not misunderstood, he's just not the stereotype that other black ppl want him to be. A Brothers Brother
Which people don’t understand he comes from a lineage of black educators
@@charlesaskew8619 right, Ppl think the way he speaks and carries himself is wrong or soft
Wtf do black people have to do with Russ and his personality? Stop reaching with that bs.
Some black men have made Russell the villain and Future the victim
Facts
I don't blame Russ one bit for not giving up his money..and for those that's taking Jabs about his wife in the comments are childish and God awful...y'all have so much disrespect for this man and hate til you take it too far..I don't hear y'all speaking on other qb's and players wives...wives and family shouldn't be made jokes of.. if you don't like Russ fine, stick to his fb skills or whatever imo..folk y'all better be REAL CAREFUL HOW Y'ALL ARE TAUNTING THIS MAN AND HIS FAMILY..it's a real reason why Russ LOVES the lord out LOUD and TRUST HIM...RUSS IS LETTING GOD FIGHT HIS BATTLES..THAT'S WHY HE'S HUMBLE, QUIET, AND PROFESSIONAL .. BE CAREFUL HOW YOU TREAT FOLKS CUZ KARMA SPENDS THE BLOCK QUICKLY...AND RUSS WILL LAUGH LAST AND GET THE VICTORY.
Denver handled this whole situation poorly. From the beginning of the season when Payton was trying to affirm his dominance and throwing subliminal shots at Russ about kissing babies and massage people etc. To throughout the season whenever Payton trashed Russ in the media. To the Broncos telling Russ to alter his contract or he will be benched. Meanwhile, Russ has been the ultimate pro about the while thing. You did not hear one peep from Russ, expressing frustration or complaining or crying. He let his play do the talking. and Denver does him like this. I personally think other players and soon to be free agents are watching the situation and thinking to themselves that no way they would wanna go to Denver if thats how theyre going to be treated
“I just beat the Chiefs for the first time since Peyton Manning was your quarterback”
Broncos initially made a terrible deal for Russ & they want him to restructure. Horrible mismanagement
Yeah it is but also players shouldn't holdout while still under contract.
@@matthewmaning4859it seems like it's the owners that are breaking the contracts, they can easily get rid of u before ur contract ends. No wonder players hold out
@@The-Heart-Will-Testify Yeah get rid of you if you are not performing well. Same with any employer. In this situation the broncos are not trying to risk Wilson getting injured then having to pay. Might be shady but it's a smart business move.
@@matthewmaning4859 it's a contract, he is not a regular employee hahah. Thats why they can't get rid of him but could bench him. Russel is not getting w2 like u
@@The-Heart-Will-Testifythat's the point. He's getting 39 mil. We not bout to pay someone 39 million to do their job terribly lol
Getting benched for Stidham who went 22/44 in NE and 53/83 in Vegas in the REAL story.
Why do people keep treating Sean Payton like he's a genius?
Superbowls matter and Peyton has one
@@robertschoelerman7496 FROM HOW MANY YEARS AGO YOU CLOWN
A Russell Wilson Documentary would be crazy
Glad he spoke up. This is Sean Payton decision. He never wanted him as the QB in the first place. Asking that man in week 8 is ridiculous
Your glad he came up with another fake line?
Owner signed off on it. Cant do anything without owner's approval
That my friends is how Walmart is…thrifty and greedy. Rolling back prices while pressing down suppliers in this case players.
Yup, you got it. There’s no integrity or humanity with Walmart 👎.
Russ was always gonna be the fall guy
AT this point, only the new and the desperate would join the Broncos - with that egomaniac coach and owners pulling that!
100%. Why would anyone want to play for a pos coach like Sean Payton?
Yeah broncos(my team) could care less about winning football games. If they asked him this after beating the chiefs for the first time in several years and having a shot at the playoffs, that tells me all I need to know about my team. Very disappointed 😂🤦🏻♂️
@@Zieg_Gamesyet these organizations will tell their fan bases “our top priority is winning” lol
They want to get off his contract. New owners inherited that contract my boi
@@malidjibril3375 yes I know the whole reason why . That’s the whole reason I’m saying they care about the contract more than winning football games.
@@Zieg_GamesAnything can happen in the playoffs. Who else are they going to pay that’s an upgrade?
@@Zieg_GamesAlso dead money hit for 2 years
Joy was all against Russ before he dropped the truth....how quickly the sides change....should have gave him the benefit of doubt from the jump
I think Payton was hoping after a 1-5 start Russ would fold. That didn’t happen Russ played well enough to go 6-3 in the next 9 games. Rolling off 5 in a row Packers, Chiefs, Bills, Vikings, and Browns. All solid teams either in the playoffs or still live. In his last 9 games 14 tds 4 ints 4 4qc’s. Dude is still who he was. Russ ain’t playing SS.
🎯
The team was rolling but that stopped when Wilson found out the team was actually in playoff contention, 3 INTs against the Texans, horrible performance vs Lions, and did absolutely nothing against the 3-11 Patriots when the game was on the line
This is what happens when you are a "Nice guy" everyone knows Russ is a nice christian guy, and nice guys can come off as timid,quiet, well Kudos to Russ for having that $39 million in his contract regardless if he gets cut or even injured. and to do this after they went on that 5 game win streak, proves the Broncos just want to get rid of Russ and save some money in doing so.
So the coach already made it clear that he didn’t like Russ before the season started it’s a strong possibility that ownership and the rest of the staff supported him on that, then you double back and want him to give money back? That’s like your boss saying “ I don’t like you, but I need you take a pay cut for the company to survive after we fire you”. Yeah ok, WTF ?
😅 yep
Pretty much. total BS !! If the HC didnt want him, then cut Russ and deal with the financial consequences !! Ridiculous bush league move by the Broncos !!!!
@@ltahoe7195no one wants to deal with that contract and that big as of a loss
Russ is like Carlton Banks. Yeah, he's black, but not "black" enough. So, people seem him as corny, inauthentic etc. Let him live his life.
Ciara said fck no you ain't giving none of my money back to Denver 🤣
He should be given the GD‼️MVP for simply taking the field every week giving his all knowing that the owners and coach were completely rooting for him to fail because of money 💰 How sick‼️🙄💯💯
Love the way Joy changed her very critical tune of Russell Wilson with this info coming out...
Benching the best option at QB for not altering his contract should be reviewed by the players association and the league for potential game fixing.
I don’t know why we are the only two saying this. And its not just game fixing, it’s blowing up a dudes contract who is still able to play and they just don’t want to pay him
Hopefully another team pick up Russell Wilson. So later he can beat the Broncos into submission.
Russ can't go into a job looking at the long term success. Does he not realize he's 35?
His winning window is closing.
Eventually you have to give it everything you have to win right now.
How did we go from hating Russ due to last year to absolutely loving him now?
These guys all agree that this is messed up. Where is the opposing side? And Joy, stop telling us about horror stories that you can't tell us about. You could be making that all up, if you don't put details out.
Ty speak for having your channel content so accessible. Yall the best show on period. Never change yall crew.
Florio brought up the idea that if Russ is cut he could sign with another team for league minimum since Denver is on the hook for his salary. A part if me hope that happens, and it’s Las Vegas, and he stomps Denver next year.
Jaystiles, that’s the wrong narrative. Without Russ, Seattle wouldn’t have won a SB. He still can play at an elite level when proper support is provided.
Without LOB the Seahawks wouldn’t have sniffed the super bowls stop playing
LOB was a 7-9 squad before Russ came along, Marshawn was an outcast that no one wanted, definition of mediocre 0 productive seasons in his career before Russ, then he came along and suddenly they NEVER had a losing season again. @@ravenfinch4455
Broncos made the correct decision.
Glad someone sees sense. Thanks Ryan.
They did not
@@pglanville sure did.
I just want everyone to go look at Seattles defensive stats the year Russ won his first All-Pro in 2019… they were horrible. Seattle had to trade for Jamal Adams for a reason…
I’m tired of everyone always linking him winning only to the LOB days(2012-2017), when the truth is if you paid attention, from 2017-2021 Russ was still getting that team to the playoffs, winning the division, and making All-Pro/Pro Bowls AFTER the LOB AND Marshawn were gone 💯💯
Joy hair looks fabulous
She knew that man was coming
As usual
Ppl don’t know what all goes on behind the scenes. Glad Russ stood up
I remember receivers dropping passes from Russ during their losing streak. You could do a video montage on crucial plays on those games where they lost: TD passes, third and long passes, easy stuff that would help a team win a game. And now everyone is pinning their five losses solely on him…because of his contract?
Probably paid to drop those balls.
There is a reason why Walmart is the shittiest place to shop. And now you look at who owns the Broncos.
The broncos ownership and payton are low-lifes. Their move was more than business. I will always root against them. Always... I love football, not chicanery. Nothing about Payton is honorable. I will remember him as the guy who got 70 points hung on him; 42 by halftime!! DREW carried the Saints. Payton and Gruden are two peas in a pod, and that ain't good! 😮
Joy, you knocked it out of the park. Respect for your thoughts.
Joy has no understanding of the situation. The mess was created by the former owners (Bowlens) before the june 2022 sale. New owners (Penner-Walton) are cleaning house, which includes ripping apart the preposterous Russ contract. It's not about Russ, it's about streamlining a USD 4.6 billion investment for the next 20 years.
Well that ended ubruptly , Wilson actually played good this season well in comparison to last season with the Denver broncos , makes no sense
Money new owners. They don't want to pay it
JJ said, but my line is moving though I’m making these drinks the fastest!😂😂😂😂
The players union really need to look into this and possibly hold the broncos accountable for making a hostile workplace, with what they did and what they pushed Peyton to do to him publicly.
Oh my god! He's guaranteed 40 million next year to do nothing! Please give me that kind of hostile work place!
@@shiverpunt as American citizens we are entitled to some rights even as employees. You’re employer cannot harass, sabotage,or in a state like California allow constructive termination. Just because some folks don’t mind using thier sexuality to move forward in a job doesn’t give the employer the right to tell every new potential employee the only way they are getting hired is to cheat on thier spouse and to keep thier mouth shut about it or be terminated.
Someone, please explain why you think Russ is not authentic
💀💀💀 @8:39!! Right, James! 😂
Russ put a wrench in the mix when he went on to win 5 games while Broncos were trying to tank.
It seems to me that others want Russell Wilson to behave a certain way when that is not who he is. He’s obviously being his authentic self. It’s somewhat like when Kobe Bryant was judged in much the same way. Just because they behave in a way that is not pleasing to YOU does not mean they are not authentic.
Everybody and their mama is going to book Russell Wilson on their podcast ASAP
It's obvious now that Sean Payton was lying! Russ opened up about being approached to change injury clause or be benched! Wow, it's sad how low Sean Payton has stooped at times!! The Broncos are in REAL trouble!! Hopefully for Russ he will be released and get out of there while he can!!
11-20 W/L record for Wilson
Man, Joy is always right on the money!!! Nothing gets past Joy!
Lets hope this narrative that Sean Payton "fixed" Russell Wilson and all the connotations that go along with it, is dismissed. You cant fix someone you dont like. Ive seen Russ play at this level and beyond for more than a decade....Payton, like Bill B...will learn that your coaching is only as effective when you have the players to make it happen.
There’s only one narrative, Russell is an overpaid disgrace
Wilson 4-12 (W/L) 16-10 (TD-Int) vs 7-8 (W/L) 24-8 (TD/Int) Payton didn’t fix him, he just carried him in his last season as a starter in the NFL.
Russ to Carolina.
In fact, I'd take him on my Giants.
Sean Peyton didn't want him to begin with, was hoping for a high draft pick
Can you imagine how hard to play with this cloud Russell had over his head
You a millionaire do your job
I really love you for saying this Emmanuel Acho and Joy Taylor, it really made me cry. He is misunderstood. He's not like most players, but he's still a great player. Thank You
The fact that they all gloss over the fact that the NEW owners did not give Russ his deal the previous owners did right before they jumped ship
Excellent remark. The new owners are not newbies in business. They want to restructure and rebuild. Which means hiring but also cutting losses. First move: hire a CEO-coach who understands the business of football. Second move: adjust or get rid of the silly contracts.
Shouldn’t this be investigated by the NFL because essentially this means they are purposely trying to lose games??
This reminds me of the movie Major League when the owner wanted them to lose for personal gain. This is crazy. I’m feel bad for him.
*If Sean Payton is that good a coach, why did he retire when Drew Brees retired, that was the cowardice move I had ever seen from a coach who was suppose to be all that. Drew Brees made Sean Payton just like Tom Brady made Bill Belichick, neither one of those coaches had proven they could win without those QB's.*
Both of those coaches were in Superbowls before Brady and Brees started playing. Both with the Giants.
@@mickpratt8327not as head coaches.
@@Ahoniu :
*Thank You, people just type anything online these days.*
Never saw the Seahawks do that to him 🤐
All season Payton has been doing through out the season is insult Russell in public because he knows Russ is a good man and won't disrespect him
Didn't the Broncos give up draft picks to sign Payton? Didn't the Broncos trade for Wilson the year before and didn't Payton know this? How often do business owners ever take accountability for their contributions to the mistakes and failures? They point the finger at someone else instead of looking at the four pointing back. As you all mentioned with the Jets, the success and turmoil starts and ends with ownership.
Did it take a Harvard grad student to come up with that? A hole lot of NOTHIN
There’s actually only three fingers pointing back
It’s crazy how they are doing him. But none of them brought him in..only the GM was there when Russ got there
I think the broncos wasn’t playing to their full potential after hearing this🤔
Walmart owners of the broncos want to " rollback" Russell Wilson contract for a sale price
I sure hope Denvers are upset with the Bronco organization. None of us regardless how much money we make would want our bosses to take money frim us all the while being threatened while doing your best to succeed in the organization.
This was all the way wrong!
A contract is a contract, can't be mad at Russ. The Broncos gave him too much money, that's their fault. Can't right their wrongs by asking Russ to give them a discount, but they want cut ticket prices, game food prices or parking prices.
Russ was starting in the Super Bowl while being severely underpaid and did his job and never complained. Now the shoe is on the other foot and he’s getting paid. Good for him. No team will pay you more than the contract requires so make them stick to the contract
Fans still have every right to boo him for being a terrible QB with a 11-20 W/L record
Blackmon needs to have a constant presence in the media. Dude is a real one
Vikings need to go get Wilson.
We want to see him play with JJ.
would be a great move....cousins won't be ready because of his injury.... more drama in SKOL land
The NFL needs to lean on the Broncos for this. This is such a bad look for the league. The players give way too much of themselves to be treated like that.
Not a Russ fan, but he shouldn’t give up anything. They signed the contract too. If there’s one thing the NFLPA needs to do it’s to get guaranteed contracts so that both sides have incentive to live up to them. Not going to be easy, but worth getting done.
Yea. That will NEVER happen. They divided the league by overpaying certain positions.
Do you think his 52 teammates think Russ is worth nearly $50 mil per year dumping the ball off or having 2/3s of the playbook be removed because Wilson can’t remember it without an armband?
Honestly, what do you think his teammates think, some of which are getting their heads beat in on every play at a tiny fraction of Russ’s salary?
I would honestly be curious.
Oh so them asking him for a pay cut is why he’s been garbage? Why can’t people just say he isn’t what everyone thought he was and the broncos don’t want a terrible situation like the browns have with Watson.
Rest in peace pat bowlen 😢
He was asked to adjust his injury guarantees or else they have to bench him to protect his financial liability to the team. They weren’t forcing him to take less money or take a reduction in years. Get over it.
Sounds right. I still don't know entirely what to believe though
To honestly expect Russ has a 7 year plan where they win more every year and go to a Super Bowl at his age is beyond RIDICULOUS! Russ isn't necessarily terrible but he is NOT that guy.
Thank you! The whole point to trade all those picks and players for Russ was to win a SB in the first two years lol
@@jbuff8323not with who he had as OC/HC in year 1.
@@romeou4965 not ever
@@jbuff8323every organization wants to win a super bowl but not without proper support, star players, a decent GM and an honorable coach. Denver can’t even say they have half of that.
@@romeou4965, the irony is that Hackett and the Jets came into Denver and Russ literally fumbled the game away. Russ is average, regardless of coaching and roster.
She made a great point. Some organizations just aren't capable of running a team. Who benches their QB with over 3,000 yards, 26 TDs and 8 INTs? Who does that?!?!
Many nfl teams do the same stuff..
Russell is awesome
Dude was never worth that much $. Broncos were stupid and desperate to pay it.
Their problem, now let's see if superstars will be willing to head to broncos after this drama
Simply stated and 💯 % truth. You gave up 8 players and a quarter of a billion dollars and thought that a player on the decline in Seattle was going to give you value for what he cost you? Broncos got Elway for 2 1st round picks. Manning was a free agent.
Come on Acho , “his number is just blocked” when calling his starting RB that carried him to a SB win ? Come on Acho
They’re not friends
You still aren’t comprehending. One can have a private or blocked number. So a caller ID will not register. That is their choice. Even if their number is saved on another person’s phone that number will not show.
Also Lynch asked someone else for Wilson’s number, not Wilson. So he did not have his QB’s number to begin with! But like another person replied, “They’re not friends.” They just worked together. Well, I might add.
Everyone knows that the broncos are not winning anything this season or next season with Wilson playing. Also, it was a fluke that Denver beat the Chiefs. The chiefs are obviously a MUCH better team that didn’t show up to play for that game.
Russ forced his way out of Seattle thinking the grass was greener. Now he’s seeing it wasn’t, and his former coach was actually defending him (which is why the LOB hated him). Sometimes you don’t know how good it is until it’s gone.
That is his biggest fault...
As a broncos fan, this gives me hope for the organization. In the past they gave Wilson this terrible deal but now they are actively telling players if you serve the fans a 7-8 season coming off a 4-11 year then you will be benched, accountability has been missing for a very long time.
Raiders ?
What a dumb, unprofessional headline. "Wilson ASKED"?? Nope. "Wilson WAS asked." Can you find your way to see the delicate, subtle difference? Hint: big difference.
Man, broncos paid way to much, its their own fault...its business....they need cap for next year..so oh well...move on...😂
The only problem with Joy's theory is that it's a new ownership in Denver so the mistakes of the past are not the same mistakes that are being made now. The problem is the new coach didn't want Russ.
