He's 35 years old and has reached the highest pinnacle in any NFL career (SB) The biggest question for him is does he still has the fire to play, possibly in a backup role at this stage of his NFL life.

Russ's strength was always off schedule plays. He is not Drew Brees.

The story is deeper than that, the out going owners signed Russ. The current owner got stuck with the deal. I although Russ's stats are bad Payton isn't happy with the offense.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

This is not related to the current owner but thought it was interesting: Former Commanders co-owner sues BofA over sale

...And yet he had no issues with any of it in New Orleans! Everyone knows that star QBs are treated differently, why an exception here?

Then Payton has issues with the Walton family and those who allowed it before he arrived.

But Wilson’s stats are not bad.

Payton went into the job wanting to get rid of Wilson. I get it too. Wilson has a way of grating on people.

That’s possible, it was a stupid contract to give much like the browns giving Watson that contract he got

I think I mentioned that in another thread.

In your post I quoted you said that Wilson’s stats were bad.

 

[Sportster 72]

You are right, typo on my part as I mentioned just a minute ago I don't think Russ's stats are bad.

Russ has to big of an ego to accept a backup role. He will start somewhere next season.

He's going to make $39M no matter what in 2024 (Guaranteed monies) So, there's a real chance that he will sign a small one-year deal somewhere or seriously consider retirement.

 

[Sportster 72]

I think the competitor in him and his career to this point has him signing somewhere. Russell Wilson's don't grow on trees.

Too much money for avg and that is what he is . Same with Watson . It’s a business , Russ was done dirty but such is life . He has made enough money in this sport to keep his family well off for generations
