Rotoworld: Raiders Could Trade for Russell Wilson

[DJ Fieri]

I figured. Thought it was funny, though....

No, it is not.

Fuck you.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He gets waived and the Steelers or Giants pick him up for the vet minimum.

IMO.

 

[fastforward]

Moar.

 

[black francis]

Click bait, but he would be a minor upgrade

 

[wood20ks]

Thats is click bait.....just like this one:

Justin Fields Rumored to Be in Trade Talks with Las Vegas Raiders

The Chicago Bears will need to explore trade ideas for Justin Fields. ESPN thinks the Las Vegas Raiders are a good trade partner this offseason.

I believe JF would become a Raider before RW......but I still dont believe anything until it happens.......

I believe that about Fields.

RW or Cousins (another guy being linked to the Raiders) are not going to be serious options IMO.

Thought I heard raiders are giving Kaepernick a shot

I heard the Broncos might flat out release Wilson, so why trade for him ?

Methinks Rotoworld is dispensing Broncos FO propaganda.

I soooooooo hope this story is true. I'd love for those Wilson supporters who championed his 2023 stats and blamed Payton for the situation to be right about Wilson being worth a fully guaranteed $39M+ over the next 2 seasons.

 

[jarntt]

Why?

Denver will release him. They will not trade him.

Wrong. They can’t afford to cut him right now. His $17M 2024 salary and $22M 2024 option bonus are guaranteed so they need a dumb team to trade for him to take those off of their cap. Hence the Raiders rumor I guess. I can’t see it happening Personally

 

[Schmoopy1000]

"Broncos Country, Let's Ride" becomes "Raider Nation, Let's Pillage"

well they are in Vegas, so maybe its.
"let it ride!"

The $39M you've mentioned is effectively already wasted. The issue is that the next $37M for 2025 will guarantee very soon. If they can't find a trade partner they will cut him because wasting $39M is better than wasting $76M.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Lots of rumors out there.

I know you're wrong....


March 17th isn't that far off...

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I expect the Broncos will release Wilson around the first week in March and just eat that big dead cap for a year. Then he can go sign wherever somebody will take him. I have no idea where that is but likely one of the teams in need that doesn't think they have a shot at trading up for one of the top prospects.

I think it will be mid to late Feb.

Oh you found an article in the internet. Well that proves it. The broncos right now are $26M over the cap. If they cut Wilson now that increases to $76M over the cap as all his dead money hits now. You think they are going to do that? If they wait until post 6/1 to cut him that means his $37M salary next year will guarantee Which would be even dumber. They‘re Screwed. If they cut RW they cut everyone else as well and go for the #1 pick. That is why they need a stupid team to bail them out And trade for him. Hence, the raiders are in the mix…

Yep, because Payton is backed by owners (when they traded for him from NO) and they traded for RW when they had a different coach.

They are sacrificing next season and probably going to select a QB in the '25 draft. Payton is going to remake the team in his image. He is in it for
the long haul.

They will release RW.

I hear the 25 draft has a weak QB crop, so maybe instead they take a QB in 24?
