The Great Denver Debacle: How Much Dough for Dud?
Remember Russell Wilson, the shiny new quarterback the Denver Broncos snatched up in 2022? Well, things haven't exactly gone according to plan. Turns out, magic isn't guaranteed, even with a hefty price tag. So, the question on everyone's mind is: how much will Denver ACTUALLY be paying Wilson to, well, not play for them anymore?
How Much Will Denver Pay Russell Wilson |
Buckle Up, Broncos Fans, It's a Big Number
Denver might be feeling a little light in the wallet after this one. They're on the hook for $39 million in guaranteed salary for Wilson in 2024. Yep, you read that right. Millions. To not play. That's like paying for the premium cable package and only watching reruns of Friends.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
But Wait, There's More! (Unfortunately)
Here's the kicker: that $39 million is just for 2024. Wilson's contract had even more guaranteed money in it, but the Broncos cleverly released him before another chunk became due. So, it's not quite as bad as it could have been, but still a pretty hefty bill to swallow.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
So, What Does This Mean for the Broncos?
Let's just say they could have bought a whole lot of orange jerseys with that $39 million. On the bright side, maybe they can use it to lure a new quarterback who actually throws touchdowns? Just a thought.
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
