Russ to be cut

[Mingo]

Sure, in dollar figures its big. But the larger cap increase, ability to convert existing contracts to bonuses (richest owners in nfl), and the likelihood we draft a qb or start Stidham means the cap hit can be absorbed.

Agreed. I don't see it as a problem at this time, but they can't afford a mistake like this on top of the Wilson fiasco.

Seattle definitely won that trade.

They lost the Jamal Adams trade.

Seattle definitely won that trade.

They lost that Super Bowl where Russ was picked at the goal line

That was more on the coach than him though. He made that call.

Respect to the Broncos for letting RW get a jump on FA and talk to other teams.

Sounds like he also has a meeting with the Steelers coming up. Also, Cecil Lammy tweeted out that there is mutual interest in looking at the Raiders. That one's for you @DJ

We've got a home game vs Pittsburgh in 2024

Should be fun provided Russ beats out Kenny Pickett

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Broncos play the Steelers next season. Must see TV.

I wonder if that is part of the reason he decided to go there instead of the NY Giants?

 

[DJ Fieri]

He also could have visited New England.

Pickett was traded to the Eagles.

Which in turn might open the door for a Justin Fields addition for Pitt.

Here I go again rooting against a former Bronco

Broncos head coach Sean Payton was asked if it was "difficult" to let him ( Russell Wilson ) go because of the dead cap hit and other money owed to him — and he was extremely blunt.

"No."

Broncos coach Sean Payton gives blunt 1-word response when asked if it was difficult to release Russell Wilson

The Denver Broncos will take the $85 million dead cap hit after releasing Russell Wilson, but Sean Payton was emphatic in that it wasn't a difficult decision to let him go.
