The Great Denver QB Fiasco: Where Does Wilson Go From Here?
Remember that whole "ring the damn phone" saga? Yeah, things haven't exactly gone smoothly in Denver since Russell Wilson landed in Mile High. Let's just say Broncos Country is facing a quarterback situation that's more "deflated balloon" than "Super Bowl aspirations."

| What Will Denver Do With Russell Wilson |
Traded for Treasure, Released for...Reasons?
So, what's the dealio? Denver traded a king's ransom for Wilson, then in a move that left everyone scratching their heads, released him just 18 months later. Was it a bad fit? Did someone spike the coaching staff's coffee with Kryptonite? The world may never know (although gossip blogs are having a field day).
One thing's for sure: releasing Wilson came at a hefty price. The Broncos are on the hook for a record-breaking dead cap hit, basically a giant "mea culpa" payment to the salary cap gods. Let's just say they'll be serving ramen noodles in the executive dining room for a while.
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
Wilson: Wanderer or Winner?
So, where does this leave Wilson? Well, the good news is he's still a talented quarterback with a fire in his belly (and a very healthy bank account thanks to that guaranteed salary). The bad news? There might be a few "thanks, but no thanks" messages from teams wary of the hefty contract and recent performance.
Will he become a journeyman QB, bouncing from team to team like a pinball? Will he land with a contender looking for that extra push towards the Lombardi Trophy? Only time (and maybe a fire sale on Wilson's contract) will tell.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
Hot take: Maybe he'll buy a ranch in Wyoming and become the next horse whisperer. You heard it here first!
