This week is the NFL Combine, where all kinds of trades are first conceived. That was the case when the Seahawks dealt Russell Wilson to the Broncos two years ago – and it may be again for the Broncos now that they appear to be ready to move on.
Even though he improved dramatically this past year after a brutal 2022 season, Wilson is expected to either get traded or become a salary cap casualty any day now. Cutting him would come with about seventy bajillion dollars in dead money for Denver, but it appears Sean Payton wants somebody else to run his offense regardless.
Now, the speculation mill is churning hard over where Wilson might go next and if he’ll still be a starting QB when he gets there. By our count there are at least 12 teams where Russ would be an upgrade over their current starter. However, he’s clearly not the quarterback he used to be. Watch Mike Golic Jr.’s take on the days of Wilson raising a team’s ceiling being over.
“I don't think Russell Wilson is a QB that raises your ceiling anymore … The days of Russell Wilson being a difference-maker in your team are unfortunately gone…
If you're a team like the Steelers, I don't know if Russell Wilson is the answer for them.” @mikegolicjr pic.twitter.com/e118G83dwK
