The Denver Broncos’ decision to bench quarterback Russell Wilson, despite his strong performance and professional conduct, has raised eyebrows.
The team allegedly threatened Wilson over a contract clause, leading to speculation about the reasons behind his benching in favor of a lesser-known backup.
“Russell Wilson is expecting to be cut by the Denver Broncos in March, per league sources. For almost two months, the quarterback has been starting knowing the organization was most likely going to move on him from after this season,” Dianna Russini wrote.

“The Broncos reached out to Wilson’s representatives in late October and explained that Wilson would lose the starting job and be made inactive for the rest of the season if he did not defer the injury guarantee trigger date that he has for 2025.”
“Wilson has $37 million in injury guarantees for 2025 that will become guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2024 league year in March. Lawyers, including some with the [NFL Players Association], were involved, and no changes were made to the contract.”
“The Broncos never told Wilson if or when they would bench him this season, he just played until he was told this morning he was no longer starting,” Russini said.
Despite the uncertainty, Wilson remains steadfast in his faith and composure.
“God’s got me,” Wilson wrote online.
“Looking forward to what’s next.”
The situation has prompted questions about the team’s treatment of a respected player, with potential implications for Wilson’s future in the NFL.
