Damn...Broncos have to eat a lot of salary with that mistake.
Russel Wilson Released -
- Thread starter Fijimn
- Start date
All Time 2nd worst behind Herschel Walker trade?
Saints trade to draft Ricky Williams has to be up there as well,.
It's being reported that it's $85 million in dead money. Yeesh....
2 seasons of salary cap pain, but with the salary cap increasing more than expected this year, still a survivable mistake if they play their cards right.
They kind of had to do it. The Bucs have $75 million in dead money and they just extended Mike Evans. It's not a death knell...but not ideal.
They could survive it, just have absolutely no room for error as you said. And in a tough division.
they still owe him $39M ??
If he is designated as a post-June 1st cut, he will count as a $35.4 million dead cap hit in 2024 and a $49.6 million dead cap hit in 2025.
Ouch

One of the most overrated quarterbacks in NFL history. Denver's ownership should can anyone involved in making that trade (if they haven't already).
Pretty sure all the owners are gone. I think George Paton is the only one that remaining from that trade.
They're aiming for a draft QB, likely JJ McCarthy.
Extremely tough division.
This year should be ok cap-wise as the QB money allocation should be survivable with Stidham and a rookie QB (plus the aforementioned flexibility with increased cap across the NFL). 2025 makes me more anxious (as a season-ticket holder), the front office better hit with the rookie QB.
I don't think they're any worse off in the division today without Wilson than yesterday with Wilson. Obv it wasn't working out between him and Payton and I think they're ready to just pull the bandaid off on the Wilson trade.
They're not beating KC for the division, but they could sneak in a wildcard spot by the end of the year.
Bears should sign Wilson and not draft Williams
Don’t see it, not in the AFC that is loaded with quality QBs.
NFC, you could convince me almost anybody has a chance at playoffs.
Yes…. The trade of this pick will net them a ton, Williams will be a bust
Same. But they need a qb, prob can't afford anyone on the market, so the options are hope someone falls to them in the draft or get some POS journeyman like Case Keenum.
Let him fight with Fields for it, or trade Fields. The Bears could keep Russell for a few years. Draft a qb next year or the year after. I want them to be successful, I’m afraid Caleb had bust written all over him.
Whatever decision the bears make, it will be the wrong one, lol.
I think you’re right about Caleb. Wilson doesn’t want to compete for starter and will be expensive. I think they should stick with fields and draft a qb later in the draft. Broncos are paying him a lot to get lost. Not much of a Wilson fan.
You think someone will pay big bucks to get him? I was thinking he’d be lucky to get picked up at all…..will be interesting to see where he ends up if at all.
Yeah I think he would be an expensive backup. He is going to want starter pay. I think he goes to the raiders
As a Seahawks fan, I disagree with "most overrated".
Back to back SB years he was pretty damn good - he made Favre type bonehead plays occasionally, but more often than not he was pretty solid.
He had a stellar defense most of his tenure at Sea, but he's not a guy that's going to raise the whole team around him.
He's simply an aging QB in today's NFL who had a damn good agent who got him a damn good deal. Past his prime now.
He’s only going to be expensive for the Broncos though. As I understand it, whoever picks him up will pay ~$1.2mil this year and the Broncos will owe the rest (~$38 mil). It’s a very low risk move for some team.
I didn’t realize that. It will make him one of cheapest QB in the entire NFL. He will have many choices at that price.
Wilson will be signed for the league minimum. That's not my opinion. That's a fact.
