2023 Outlook
Depth Chart
When you consider expectations versus results, Wilson might've been the most disappointing player in the NFL last season. Acquired from Seattle and signed to a monster contract before taking a snap with Denver, the nine-time Pro Bowler was abysmal, never gelling with head coach Nathaniel Hackett, who was fired before his first season was complete, and struggling in every facet of the game.

There are plenty of statistical indicators that point to the depth of his issues, but perhaps none more effectively than the fact that he didn't throw his 10th touchdown pass until Dec. 11. His final numbers -- 3,524 yards passing, 277 yards rushing, 16 TD passes, and 11 INTs -- were poor, but it's hard to argue his performance wasn't even worse than that; he threw for 283 yards and 3 TDs in a Week 18 win over the Chargers in a game that held no meaning for them.

Desperate to salvage what currently looks like a terrible trade, the Broncos doubled down and shipped out more assets to lure longtime Saints head coach Sean Payton out of a brief retirement. Payton's primary job will be to resurrect the 34-year-old's career. He did yeoman's work finding ways to keep Drew Brees effective in his twilight years, so it'll be interesting to see if he can do it with Wilson, who is similarly undersized and has been safe with the football during his career.

While he has also battled injuries the past two seasons, missing five games, the veteran has generally been durable so that's only a mild concern. Given Payton's track record of success offensively, Wilson looks like a very interesting risk/reward QB2.

News From The Past 90 Days
Bears ship QB Justin Fields to Steelers for 2025 draft pick
2025 6th-round pick that goes to a 4th-round pick based on playtime
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Mar 16, 6:41 pm

Chicgao Bears
Bears are trading Justin Fields for a 2025 6th-round pick that goes to a 4th-round pick based on playtime, per sources. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Alrighty then. The market for Fields obviously wasn't that strong given the compensation returning to the Bears. This move all but guarantees that Chicago will draft Caleb Williams or another quarterback with the first pick in the upcoming draft. Fields will join Russell Wilson as fresh faces in Pittsburgh as the Steeler overhaul the quarterback position. Will there be a QB competition?


New Steelers QB: Russell Wilson, one-yeal deal
Broncos will pay $38 million of his salary in 2024
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Mar 10, 11:35 pm

Pittburgh Steelers
Nine-time Pro-Bowl QB and former Super-Bowl champ Russell Wilson plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per league sources. Wilson will sign a team-friendly, one-year deal in which the Broncos will wind up paying $38 million of his salary while Wilson wears the black and yellow. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Given Kenny Pickett is your other choice, it's really a no-brainer for the Steelers to take a shot on Wilson for $1.2 million. With Arthur Smith and his run-heavy game-plan serving as offensive coordinator, it's hard to imagine anything more than middling QB2 value from Russ during 2024.


Broncos set to release QB Russell Wilson on March 13th
Denver avoids $37M payment in 2025
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Mar 4, 4:19 pm

Denver Broncos
Sources: The #Broncos are moving on from QB Russell Wilson, closing a tough chapter for the team and allowing coach Sean Payton and Wilson to start fresh. Wilson is available for a team needing a starter. Denver avoids an extra $37M fully guaranteed now. (Ian Rapoport on X)

FFToday's Take: The Broncos will be on the hook for Wilson's $39 million minus whatever salary he gets from a new team but they avoid paying him $37 million for 2025. The cap hit ($85M) will also be available to be split over two seasons if they designate him a post June 1st cut. Denver will be one of many teams looking to upgrade the QB position but will have to settle for 2nd tier rookies unless they move up from the No.12 spot in the draft.
