Broncos still in contention, 2 divisional games left, they did split with the Chiefs - yet Wilson going to the bench. He was having a better season than last, but now there is speculation this is more about future payments on an obviously bad contract and compensation they gave up for him. www.aol.com/sports/russell-wilson-benched-broncos-setting-171057662.html |

When the jones contract wrinkle with the injury guarantee news came out I speculated he wouldn’t play another game for the giants.
The broncos benching Wilson to avoid his injury guarantee makes that alot more likely. I don’t think they’ll even let DJ into the facility.

After hearing Schoen talk I'm more concerned that they might role with him, hopefully they are different from what we have had here the last 14 years before them and except their mistake and rectify it. |

What they might do is have him healed up, enter training camp with a purported QB competition between him, our newly minted QB draftee, our newly minted journeyman backup and Cutets. Then in the middle of camp Schoen announces a blockbuster trade to an AFC team... Howz that for a scenario? |

Certainly not a savior, but still odd to not have anticipated how much that clause could blow up the reason to acquire him and make that contract look even more foolish. At least with Jones our team didn't commit so for long or give up such consequential draft capital. |

At least with Jones our team didn't commit so for long or give up such consequential draft capital. Thats how much QBs mean to a franchises. The niners traded a boat load of capital for Trey Lance, later they gave the job to Purdy a 7th rounder and traded Lance for almost nothing compared to what they gave up. Thats why I say with the Giants at 5 right now if they are serious about being good and not being top 5 again they need to get there guy while they can, they might have a opening with the Cardinals to move to second, if they are going QB that seed needs to be planted now because Washington might want to get up from 4 to 2 also. |

This has been and will be continued to be discussed for months, I can't entertain that but lean towards not trading up given the overall status of our roster. |

Valid point question is Schoen and Daboll are going into year 3 all the good will from last year is gone, if they are picking 5 again and have Jones, DeVito and some other backup they might not be making that next top 5 pick, they have to show improvement maybe if they build the OL up they can compete as is. If not as a franchise and a fan base we might be back on the hampster wheel spinning our way to nowhere. |

I feel bad for Davis Webb. He is the QB coach in Denver. He had Wilson playing like Wilson again.

I'm listening to Get Up on ESPN right now (not a show I really care for, but nothing else is on, lol). They are absolutely excoriating Payton for this. RW has handled this sooooo professionally, and Payton is the devil for treating him with such disrespect all season. Fun seeing how insulted these guys are...

DJ has negative trade value.. meaning, we would have to give up some of our own draft capital just for some other team to take him on. |

I wonder if they had the same uproar when the Raiders did this same exact thing to Carr last year? |

It’s not often you get to see a fallen star burn to the ground.. From a seat in canton.. to the outhouse.. Wilson has now become a scar that can’t be covered. As he put up good numbers, the Broncos are still trying to get out of that contract. As expected, Wilson told them to go kick rocks. As the Broncos kicked him out of the starting lineup.

That is a silly notion |
