There are growing signs that Russell Wilson will be leaving Denver. Where could the former star quarterback be heading?

Ousted to the bench by backup Jarrett Stidham at the end of the season, followed by transfer rumors and now the news that the Denver mansion is for sale.

Russell Wilson’s departure from the Denver Broncos is apparently getting closer and closer. The Broncos’ decision in the last two games of the past season already showed that the former star quarterback is no longer going anywhere in Denver.

Head coach Sean Payton had benched him. As he emphasized for performance reasons, but actually – and this was an open secret – to protect him from injury. Because if Wilson had been injured, he would have received 37 million euros in March, as injured players cannot be cut.

So the Broncos left the door open for a release before free agency. A trade has not yet been ruled out, but it is unlikely. A team would then have to take over his contract, which no team is likely to do.

The report in the “Denver Post” shows that Wilson is aware of his future. According to the report, the 35-year-old has put his luxury villa in Cherry Hills Village up for sale and is willing to accept offers.

Russell and his wife Ciara only acquired the mansion in April 2022 for a reported record sum of 25 million US dollars

It is not clear whether the Wilsons are already looking for new accommodation. However, initial indications suggest that two NFL teams are interested in the quarterback, who was once one of the best in the league with the Seattle Seahawks.

As Chad Johnson claims to have learned, the Pittsburgh Steelers apparently want to acquire Wilson’s services. The former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver said on the “Nightcap Podcast” that “Russ” will sign with the Bengals rival.

“We got to talk about the Steelers for a second,” Johnson said. “A little birdie told me – and I said this quite some time ago – that Wilson is coming to the Steelers this offseason. “

Russell Wilson spotted with the Patriots

In Pittsburgh, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph are still battling for the starting job. But besides Wilson, the names of Justin Fields, Kirk Cousins and Jimmy Garoppolo have already been circulating in the rumors.

But the Steelers are not the only team that could find what they are looking for in Wilson in their search for a consistent quarterback solution. The New England Patriots are also in talks.

Denver’s big misunderstanding with Wilson

In Boston, coaching legend Bill Belichick was recently fired. After the Brady era, he was unable to find his way back to success with Cam Newton, Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe.

The Patriots, of all teams, against whom Wilson lost the Super Bowl in dramatic fashion in 2015 in a Seahawks jersey.

But Wilson and the Super Bowl – that was a long time ago. He finished last season with the Broncos with a record of seven wins and eight defeats.

Overall, his career record in the NFL is 115-72-1. He is still under contract in Denver, but the Broncos will probably take on the 86 million US dollar dead cap to get rid of the big misunderstanding.
