Russell Wilson Released


Recommended Posts

He's going to sign a modest 3 year deal with Atlanta, with a bunch of incentives & an out after 2 years. They'll tell him he's their guy, then they'll draft a QB in the 1st round anyway. Russ will be replaced after their bye week.

Steelers are dumb if they don't jump on this.  

 

A 70% Russ is better than Pickett and Rudolph combined. 

Steelers are dumb either way so it all works out. 😉

Possibly the worst trade of all time. The amount of money and  assets traded for him was insane and he did absolutely nothing for denver. 

It wasn't the trade. It was the contract extension. That's what really crippled the Broncos.

Largest dead cap hits in NFL history:
Russell Wilson ($85M)
Matt Ryan ($40.53M)
Aaron Rodgers ($40.31M)
Carson Wentz ($33.8M)
Russell Wilson, again ($26M)

Until Deshaun. Records are made to be broken!

RW and Mike Tomlin does not seem like a good fit.

He's still a very good QB. Problem is, he is a locker room cancer. 

One day all the true stories will come out.

He is the sort to believe his own press clippings when they are good, it appears he is a D - bag / sh-tty teammate, Imo he is done as a viable QB, and will milk his former reputation as an actual football player for a few more years and then fade away,

This was a pretty bad trade, but I think the Cowboys-Vikings trade involving Herschel Walker was one of the NFL's worst.

It's certainly in the running.

Top 3 have to be Hershel Walker, Deshaun Watson and Wilson... Hard to think of any more worse than these three.  Although Bills pulled off some great ones including OJ Simpson and Tom Cousineau ultimately becoming Jim Kelly.

Possibly.  I thought he played ok down the stretch. He is certainly better than at least 10 of the starting QBs that played last year.  He will start somewhere.  Pitts, Chicago, LV, New England, Atlanta, and New Orleans are all places he could walk in and start even if it meant the QB of the future sat for a year.

Pretty bad is a bit of an understatement the number of picks and cap hit they've taken from this whole thing probably put it as a contender for worst one of all time.

And here I was thinking that was EJ Manuel.

Knowing the charmed life Nate Hackett has lived, I fully expect he'll get yet another life.

Isn't he on his 4th life now?

 Went back to look it up.

On March 16, 2022, the Seahawks traded Wilson and a fourth-round pick to the Broncos in exchange for two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-round pick, quarterback Drew Lock, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, and tight end Noah Fant.

 

On September 1, 2022, Wilson signed a five-year, $245 million contract extension with the Broncos.
