Denver and Russ are better off today, a blessing in disguise. Russ was paid tens of millions, I wouldn’t complain. Russ wasn’t a great teammate, look at what the former Seahawk players say. Glad he is gone, but I wish him well. He is playing solid football today, still not quite sure what was so off in Denver for him.
Russ robbed the Broncos franchise of 100 Million and all you retards are feeling sorry for him. He's the worst QB i've ever seen play in the Orange and Blue and it's not close.
Russ is a class act guy and an elite Quarterback. The Broncos are a dirty organization… I will never cheer for them again. Salute to Terrell Davis and Shannon Sharpe the only broncos I like.
Brother…Let Mr.Wilson talk! Damn! He said maybe ten words!😠
I really want Denver loose every game they play going forward
Im just happy for Russ…
He is deserving .
He cant even call Beats mode for the superbowl hiccups
God works as you can see they tried to black ball Wilson by this and God prevailed as he always does.
Dude has been legit and professional the whole time!
It’s funny How Mike Tomlin believed he wasn’t washed up as they say, and he’s God driven as well and Steelers are in the playoffs! Funny how the right people in place always wins!
He needs to sue their a
Sports entertainment at its finest 🤔
Sean Payton don't want a black quarterback
Sean Payton shouldn’t even be coaching. He was unethical in New Orleans.
The nfl is complicated, big money makes it that way. Russ is excellent on many levels
Well done Russell! Much respect 🙏🏾
I'm glad the Russ stood his ground.I wonder why he was standing and And not saying anything back to him. They would try to bait him into arguing with the coach so they could void his contract
Sean Payton is disguting i literally hate him I bet he’s the reason why he got divorced because of his attitude
That coach is crummy. The organization supporting it is dark.
Sean Payton is a piece of shit he would have never did that to Drew Brees yet another stain on his legacy right about now it's starting to be obvious many coaches and players don't care about that anymore it's only about a 💸💰
Wilson a cry baby anyway
He was still trash for being paid $50 million a year. W for Denver for moving on. Bo is the future
Yeah…. I’m struggling to be a Broncos fan still because of this BS.
Diva and cornball. Not a team player.
Top 10 Things That Never Happened lmao
to the normal persons mind russle looked bad with the broncos country lets ride meme
Respect 🫡 Russ
yeah, the broncos, sean payton, f them. i wanted to go watch them and huge fan of Russell's team. but now i am glad he left them
As a Steelers fan yea Russel is trash!!
russ didnt fit in broncos system but hes okay with the steelers
I don't wish him good luck. He's a professional. Why didn't he do his best in Seattle?? Where was this attitude before Sean Payton arrived!!! Why did the antics talk to the NFL Commissioner when he wanted to be traded from Seattle?? Or what he did on the jet airplane to London, England? No, I stood up for him when he left Seattle. Then he started acting like a narcissist after the plane incident. I didn't understand, after all the football antics. It was like he wasn't himself. So he left Denver and now blaming coach Peyton and another story, why he's the misunderstood hero, and not to blame for everything done to him "His Swan Song". Well, I'm sorry, just not believing it anymore. I heard it from people in Seattle, then in Denver, and now from family members in Pittsburgh. It's always someone else's problem. I may be slow, but not slow enough to see when I'm getting snowed by a lying person!!!
Russel they did not want you. You were the bad boy. 5 parking stall elite A hole
Russell Wilson is real good at sitting in front of a camera and spinning the narrative that everything is honey and roses with him. He just shows up, is the consummate professional in spite of the dysfunctional train wreck that is everyone, everything that happens to be in his orbit at the time! Being that his job is one of only 32 people on the planet to be a starting QB in the league… It would behoove him to dedicate his time and effort to expanding the space on the field he is able to complete passes at a level that justifies being one of the 32 aforementioned men! The way I see it, he has some abilities and athleticism a good QB needs but not the whole package. When he is playing you can pretty much remove the slot or everything in the middle because he cannot compete there. Someone who is chosen as one of the 32 has to be able to utilize that real estate period. All of the silver tongued talking will not make that a reality! Facts!
Bro this interview feels like your kissing ass to wilson 😂
