Sorrowful: The Denver Broncos head coach has confirmed the death of his all-time favorite wife due to…
This NFL season, making fun of Russell Wilson has turned into a minor pastime.
If you search for Wilson online, you’ll come across a diverse range of inventive memes that mock the struggling quarterback for the Broncos.
Wilson, 34, is a target of derision in part because of the absurd $245 million contract he signed with Denver, of which $165 million was guaranteed, after forcing the Seahawks to trade him in exchange for an extension of his contract.
The Broncos’ acquisition of Wilson, which was meant to put Denver in the running for the AFC West against the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, has been remarkably unsatisfactory.
With an average of just 14.3 points per game, the Broncos (3–8) are last in the NFL in terms of points scored. They will take on the Ravens on Sunday.
The Broncos defensive lineman Mike Purcell yelled at Wilson on the sideline during the fourth quarter of Denver’s 23-10 loss to the Panthers last Sunday, marking the lowest point of the team’s season.
Naturally, the incident was played down by both players, but it was visible to everyone.
“Mike and I have the same understanding,” Wilson said to the press. “He exited the field, and he was not only depressed but also furious. “We have to effing go,” he said, and I agree. There is absolutely no hostility there. We must prevail. We need to approach this situation with some grit and a certain mindset. We must prevail in these football matches.
Purcell stated to reporters, “Everyone wants to ignite something.” We are all involved in this together.
On the other hand, the Broncos have appeared uninspired and lifeless. Despite the fact that this is only his first year, many are calling for head coach Nate Hackett to be fired.

Russell Wilson isn’t interested in being benched by the Broncos just yet.
Wilson was meant to be their savior. The Broncos viewed the trade for the seasoned quarterback, who helped guide them to a Super Bowl championship, as their equivalent of the Rams acquiring Matthew Stafford the previous season. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are in the same boat.
However, it doesn’t always work out that way when skilled veteran quarterbacks join new teams as the deciding element in a championship puzzle.
Wilson, who has thrown for 2,369 yards, eight touchdowns, and five interceptions in 10 games this season, has been weighing the Broncos down instead. Wilson has an 82.3 passer rating. The most concerning aspect of Wilson’s abrupt decline is how stiff he appears to be, considering that he was once one of the game’s most elusive quarterbacks.
Fans in Denver are wondering if the Broncos will be able to cut him after this season because of his lack of effectiveness. However, Denver is limited in its ability to keep him due to his contract. Wilson’s contract would be worth $107 million in dead salary cap money in 2023, $85 million in 2024, $49.6 million in 2025, and $31.2 million in 2026 if he were fired.
