Report: Russell Wilson will re-evaluate everything during the offseason
Jan 1, 2023, 10:32 AM
Russell Wilson isn’t going anywhere. The mega-contract he signed with the Broncos prior to the start of the 2022 regular season all but insures that fact. The team has too much guaranteed money tied up in the quarterback to simply part ways after one season, no matter how disappointing and disastrous.
Thus, Broncos Country is left to hope that Wilson can rebound from a bad year. They have to cross their fingers that he can once again become the player he was in Seattle, the type of QB that prompted George Paton to send two first-round pick, two seconds and three players to the Seahawks last March in a blockbuster trade.
If Wilson continues to conduct himself in the same way that he has since becoming a Bronco, that seems unlikely. After all, his methods haven’t worked in any way, shape or form.
Will the QB be willing to change, however? Will he admit that his “Let Russ Cook” ways are perhaps misguided?
Well, there is evidence that he’s going to at least consider it. During NFL Network’s pregame coverage on Sunday, Ian Rapoport said Wilson will evaluate everything during the offseason.

Quit being a celebrity and be a football player. Lose a few pounds. Become one of the guys instead of an outsider with an office upstairs in the facility. All of those things and more have been suggested.
Here’s hoping the happen. That’d be great news in Broncos Country.
