Broncos get warning over Russ Wilson: Sean Payton 'messed with the wrong guy
![]() The impending split between the Denver Broncos and quarterback Russell Wilson may get a whole lot messier than it already is. After benching Wilson for Jarrett Stidham last week, the 35-year-old QB went public with the team’s threat to bench him weeks ago during the bye week if he did not waive his $37M injury guarantee for the 2025 season, which gets locked in this coming March.
The move didn’t sit right with the NFLPA, which sent a letter to the Broncos in November informing them that the threat made to Wilson violated the collective bargaining agreement and they could face legal action because of it. Although head coach Sean Payton maintained that Wilson’s benching was for performance-related reasons and nothing to do with his contract, that’s not the perception around the league. Now, Payton and the Broncos front office will likely spend the beginning part of the offseason doing damage control, trying to repair the hit their reputations took after Wilson shared his side of the story. “Fifteen years ago, the quarterback would sit quiet and try to get on another team,” an anonymous exec told The Athletic. “When you mistreat a guy like Wilson, that ain’t going to happen. I think Sean messed with the wrong guy because (Wilson) told the story.” While nothing has been officially announced, it’s expected that the Broncos will release Wilson in March before his injury guarantee kicks in. If he’s released with a post-June 1 designation, Wilson will carry $35.4M in dead cap, per Over the Cap. Denver is projected to be $18.1M over the salary cap in 2024. Wilson’s release would be added to the $9.69M in dead cap the team already has after cutting Randy Gregory, Brandon McManus, Frank Clark and Montrell Washington, bringing its grand total to $45.1M. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/artic...use%20of%20it. |

He gained a tiny bit of respect from me for that. Plus he's not a Donk for much longer, so I definitely have his side in the thing. |

Strip them of draft picks. This is unprofessional. And add another 20 million to their dead cap.

You'd think this sort of thing would weigh heavy on the minds of any free agent Denver is courting while the Payton regime is in place.
If they would do this to QB1, how can you trust anything they say to you? |

It’s been fun poking fun at Russ the last 2 years, but I’m definitely on his side with this one. Payton is a scumbag coach and the Donks are an equally scuzzy franchise.

True to a point. Just don't be a cringe turd and don't suck, and it won't happen. But Payton is a such a sleaze, so you're probably spot on.
