Thats just it - they cannot release him with those cap numbers. They just can't - they wouldn't field a team. Truly I am not sure they could even June 1 himOriginally posted by ghost View Post
Now maybe there is a team that trades for him -- but that seems unlikely
Broncos are stuck with Wilson through 2024, possibly 2025Comment

Yeah, it seems a certainty that they will be in the Sean Payton sweepstakes. Maybe the only players at that. But whatever vestiges are left from the old ownership in the front office, they'll be out soon too. They'll give Payton full control over operations in an attempt to right the ship with Wilson still there.Originally posted by Bolt4Knob View PostComment

PFT - With new ownership in Denver firing coach Nathaniel Hackett with two games left in his first season, the next question becomes what becomes of the man who hired Hackett — and who both traded for and paid quarterback Russell Wilson?
Is General Manager George Paton safe?
The statement issued by the Broncos implies that he is, with one caveat.
“I will lead our head coaching search with support from our ownership group and George Paton, whom I have confidence in as our general manager,” CEO Greg Penner said. So Paton apparently is safe.
Unless he isn’t.
“Moving forward, we will carefully evaluate every aspect of our football operations and make whatever changes are necessary to restore this franchise’s winning tradition,” Penner also said.
How can the evaluation not include an objective analysis of the process that resulted in the hiring of Hackett, given that other candidates who were hired elsewhere have done inordinately better than Hackett? From Kevin O’Connell to Mike McDaniel to Brian Daboll, each are first-year, first-time NFL head coaches. And each have their teams in the mix for postseason play. (O’Connell’s Vikings clinched a spot nine days ago.)
Even Bears coach Matt Eberflus has at least looked the part for a team that was overmatched from the get go. The highlight came from the crafting of a game plan that dismantled the Patriots in their own building on a Monday night in October.
For Hackett, there really was no highlight.
Paton also made the trade that brought Wilson to town, compounding the blunder by signing Wilson to a massive contract before he ever even played in a game — and at a time when, surely, someone could have noticed that perhaps Wilson wouldn’t be the guy he’d been in Seattle.
If a careful evaluation of the football operations will indeed be conducted, it’s possible that the evaluation will cause Penner to lose his confidence in Paton. Another factor becomes whether Penner settles on a new coach who either wants his own personnel executive or intends to run the show himself.

1st Round pick of the Broncos is now the THIRD overall pick in the 2023 draft. The one that Seattle now owns. Ouch.Comment

It really happened.
Nathaniel Hackett...

What prospective head coach is going to want to go to the Broncos with their untenable QB situation?
The Broncos ownership group better have their lawyers looking Wilson's contract with a magnifying glass as Wilson has sold the organization a bill of goods, and if I was the Broncos group, I would try to force Wilson into retirement with a severance package.Comment

Well that’s too bad I thought Nathaniel was doing a great job in Denver.

The Broncos had ZERO reason to extend the Wilson contract when they did. Especially for the years. They could have done something like given him a nice raise - maybe $10m per year for the current deal and see how things go.Originally posted by ghost View Post
That was a terrible contract without playing a down in that new systemComment
