The Denver Broncos have garnered some negative media attention over the past couple of days. Unfortunately, their losses have nothing to do with the negative attention, but it’s Russell Wilson’s controversial contract clauses. Wilson was benched for the game against the Chargers and Jarrett Stidham took his place in this game.

One might think that Sean Payton has a vendetta against Russell Wilson, but according to him, things can’t be further away from the truth. After a 16-9 win against the Chargers, the HC came out in the presser and addressed the media. Despite Russell Wilson being fantastic this week, some things are out of Payton’s hands, or at least that’s what he projected.

Sean Payton addresses the qualms with Russell Wilson

The reporter brought up what Russell Wilson said in the previous presser about being threatened and benched for the entire season and wanted Payton to address the situation. The HC decided to be diplomatic about the whole situation, stating Wilson “has been fantastic” even though he had been tackling the same questions for the past couple of days.

“I think this idea that um, he and I, we don’t have a good relationship, or he’s not the fit, all that that stuff I think comes from people further away from our program. You guys are close to it, so the, I think the further away people are from the program, the more they just jump to a narrative, and it is what it is.” said Payton, trying to highlight the actual situation.

But going back to the last couple of days, the sideline drama that we saw doesn’t make a convincing case to support Sean Payton. Also, how often do we see an employer asking their employees to change the terms of their contract after willingly signing the player to the roster?

Wilson’s grimy contract with the Broncos

It’s old news right now, but the details of Wilson’s contract surfacing on the internet have raised serious questions about the Broncos. Wilson has about $37 million in injured reserves, which will be a guaranteed pay on the 5 day of his 2024 league year. Many believe that to avoid paying Wilson his money, the Broncos are making these desperate moves.

In October, they approached Wilson and asked him to defer and extend the contract trigger date. The Broncos threatened to bench him if he failed to comply with their wishes. People are pointing out these unethical proceedings and backing Russell Wilson. Despite putting nearly identical stats to Patrick Mahomes, the Broncos decided to rush him in real life.

He tweeted out the possibility of moving from the Broncos, which may turn out to be true at this point. What do you think about this debacle?
