Serious question. Could the donks ask him to retire after this year and offer him a nice severance package to get out of the massive cap hit or would that violate some sort of policy. That's really the only out that would save them from 3-4 years of pure suck

Lmmfao!

Blowmo is Pay a Ton confirmed!

You mean cheating the salary cap? You act like this is something they haven't already done.

Hey, Mike Purcell... Let's Ride!!!

In case someone hasn't seen it yet.

Yeah, Arrowhead Addict is awesome. I am a subscriber to that channel and that bit was really funny. A fan of Verderame's work.

ROFL oh my goodness, that dude is a comic genius but he sure had some great material to work with... I had absolutely NO idea just how bad that contract is

Money well spent. The Pay a Ton plan!

wow, Russ is a better thief than the owners.

I was wondering this too. It’s against the spirit of the cap, but I don’t know if it’s explicitly disallowed.

This has to be one of worst trades in NFL history. Good job Donks!

I feel like limiting Mr. Unlimited to only one season of destruction isn’t enough. Just enjoy the ride Broncos country! I know we all are!

Unlimited diarrhea….

Would you take a Geno Smith renaissance instead of Lock?

That’s how they got fined for their 2 super bowl wins. Side deals that paid outside the cap are illegal.

They still got the trophies for cheating their ass off, so it was a win.

I know you guys don’t DC, but this thread is approaching the amount of fail that rivals a thread about a certain lawyer that was a “superstar”. LMAO

I thought so, but I wasn't sure.

So there's literally no way out for them. Buckle up donktards, it's going to be a long ride :)

What's the term you use when your teams goes all in to compete with the best of the best?
The Patrick Price!

Someone should make a sign like that and see if they can get on TV when we play them!

I can’t wait for the lead up to training camp when Russ loses a few pounds and Knowmo predicts him running for a bunch of yards to make him a duo threat qb again and thinks Denver has a chance at the playoffs.

The soul crush will be glorious.

Again.

The Broncos are so completely screwed with that contract. He’s basically locked in as their QB until the end of 2025 (when they can launch him with a $50 million cap hit) or launch him before the 24 season (which they’d still pay him $35 million for even if he doesn’t play) and take the $85 million cap hit.

The one factor they didn’t account for is that he would suck.

I guess he could retire if the boos get too loud but he doesn’t strike me as the type to walk away from a boatload of cash.

Goddamn it's amazing how completely Seattle won this trade.

Even without the picks involved, Seattle won the trade.

Plus they unloaded Russ' contract, got to avoid being put in the position to possibly offer an extension AND ended up with a better starting QB when it was all said and done.

A true stroke of genius by the Seattle front office.

Even if Seattle doesn’t draft anyone good with those picks it’s a win. These are all picks Denver can’t use to better their team.

Unloading Russ isn't a possibility, IMO. The only real option is to design an offense around his "unique" (read: limited) abilities. I'd think that should have been the plan from the start rather than trying to run the same offense Hackett used for Rodgers but with Wilson.

Which is a shame considering this year’s qb draft class.

Ahhh I love Russell Wilson

What offense Hackett used for Rodgers? He designed the red zone scheme, that's it.

Denver will bring in a stable coach and Dangeruss will win 6 games and take out them out of reach of drafting a top qb prospect

The offense that maximizes Russ's abilities and minimizes his limitations is the offense he left Seattle for so he could cook.

I didn't say he designed it, just that he's using the same scheme as he used in GB.

Yep. I think he could also do okay in a rollout/bootleg heavy offense like Shanahan's.

As it currently stands, Seattle will be picking in the #4 spot thanks to the Russell Wilson trade.

He didn't use a scheme in GB. He was OC in name only, never called plays at all.

Are you under the impression that only the person calling plays uses the offensive scheme?

I'm not entirely sure why this specific point means so much to you, the actual point is that he took a scheme that Rodgers succeeded with and is using it for a different QB with a much different skill set.

Thread winner.

Wilson's skillset isn't THAT much different than Rodgers. The fact that he can't run it at all is pretty ****ing damning for Russ and pretty much absolves Hackett of blame, unless you think Hackett should simplify or "dumb down" the offense for Russ, which in turn, puts even more of the blame on Russ.

At least with my point of view, you're assigning some of the blame to Hackett, a guy who has precious little actual coaching experience to speak of.

But hey, if you want to believe it's all Wilson, go ahead. You're stuck with him. You're not stuck with Hackett.

You think I believe it's all Wilson and not Hackett? Have you read my posts or do you just auto-reply somehow?

If you think your present argument is "in line" with thinking it's Hackett, then you're contradicting yourself.

Try again.

?

My premise is that Wilson is different than Rodgers (which you apparently disagree with?), and that Hackett should have come up with an offense that would fit Wilson in the first place, rather than use an offense that fits a different QB.

Somehow you think this means that I think Hackett is not the issue.

Look how ****ing clueless EmbaRuss is. No wonder all his teammates hate him.

May the cap increase exponentially.

Hard to believe that's even real?

It's so hard to know what's real and what isn't when it comes to Russ.

This could hurt his wife's career by association. Time for his personnel assistant to be available for the pickup lines to the hotties

I, I, I does not describe a worthwhile leadership approach. When the ship starts to take on water, the finger gets pointed at one person.

I can't believe he can be so clueless, unless we are looking at serious cognitive deficit. Of course Hackett has a part to play in this. The contract looks frighteningly bad for Denver if Russell continues this performance level.

hilariously awesome.

I love it.

Only 4 more years:)

Wow. I knew it was bad but I had no idea is that bad. Just......wow. ROFL ROFL

I would do that but I'm not sure everyone would get it.

Wait, now I'm getting all you donk fans confused. Weren't you one of the donk fans comparing Russell Wilson to Mahomes and talking about how great he is? Now he's limited?

Broncos stuck with Mr. Limited for at least 2 more seasons after this one, with a monster cap hit the year after that if they cut him, while he also sucks up a quarter of their cap, severely limiting their ability to sign big-ticket free agents or retain all of their own stars?

Oh, darn.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of entitled pricks.

"Agent Orange is a chemical herbicide and defoliant, one of the "tactical use" Rainbow Herbicides. It was used by the U.S. military as part of its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand,[1] during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971.[2] It is a mixture of equal parts of two herbicides, 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D. In addition to its damaging environmental effects, traces of dioxin (mainly TCDD, the most toxic of its type)[3] found in the mixture have caused major health problems for many individuals who were exposed, and their offspring."


Wilson is one herbicide, Paton the other. Then throw in Hackett & all Bronco accounts have been defoliated

If you have to custom-tailor your offense to address your QB's limitations, you're already ****ed. How do you not get that?

Well, look at the bright side, Broncos fans-

Those third round picks are basically second rounders.

LOL

They're stuck with him on the roster for at least another year or so, but I wonder when they'll bench him? That's the REAL question now...How far will go to die on that hill?

I guess they can cut him post June 1 after next season and swallow a $50M cap hit, but that doesn't actually save them anything against the 2024 cap. And then they have the huge hit in 2025.

If they bench him, they may as well cut him. Either way their cap is ****ed

It's just beautiful. I don't think I could've written it any better for them!

Their cap was ****ed the minute they signed him long-term. They're stuck with him now.

That's really the icing on the cake right there. LMAO

I feel like they'll bench him first and give everyone some load of bullshit about a "reset" or some BS like in NY. I think they'll try to ease into admitting he was a HUGE mistake. IMOP they'll see Cutting his ass (without benching him for a bit first) as the more detrimental of the two scenarios from a PR standpoint.

Now if I were a Denver fan I'd prefer they just cut him, but the front office is gonna fluff this shit.

Yep, nobody is trading for him and that contract, much less his current production levels. Wilson will retire a Bronco with millions of unearned WalMart bucks.

It is possible for the Broncos to get out of this mess but it won’t be easy. The Eagles did this with Carson Wentz and he was in a similar situation.

There will always be one desperate team ready to trade for him especially with the Broncos footing most of the bill.

That's going to be one desperate ****ing team that trades for Russ, lol.

The gm that would trade for him with that contract should be fired today

No way. Carson Wentz was WAY younger and about half as much guaranteed.
At least there was a CHANCE Wentz would return back to his MVP from.

When Carson Wentz was traded, the dead cap hit was 35.4mm.

If Russel Wilson is traded after this season, the dead cap will be 107mm. If after next season, 85mm. The year after that, 49.6mm. And after that, 31.2mm.

This is nowhere near the Carson Wentz situation from a contract perspective.

Saw the thread title this morning and almost panicked. I thought it said, "Broncos Trade Russel Wilson". That'd be ****ing horrible. I need to get more sleep.

Well, it was Frank Reich that insisted the Colts trade for him. I don't think Pete Carroll is going to be clamoring for him anytime soon.

To be fair, Baltimore does that and seem pretty successful with it. But I agree with you for the most part.
