Russell Wilson, the experienced quarterback, may be traded by the Denver Broncos this summer. After just two seasons, the Super Bowl champion quarterback’s turbulent chapter in Denver may come to an end. Wilson ought to have some suitors in the NFL Free Agency market. And the Minnesota Vikings might be one suitor.
With Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, and Justin Jefferson among his weapons, Russell Wilson would have no shortage of options in a group that also includes Jordan Addison and Kevin O’Connell, according to ESPN’s Fowler.
During his two seasons with the Broncos, Wilson had difficulties. He was benched for backup Jarett Stidham during the previous season as Denver lost the AFC playoff race after 15 games. The 35-year-old veteran signal-caller completed over 3000 yards of passing in 2023 with 26 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.
His performance in 2023 was better than in 2022. And that was sufficient to win some commendation from an adversary. Wilson’s 2023 NFL season observations, which Fowler obtained from an unidentified AFC front office executive, were shared.
According to ESPN, Fowler’s source claimed that “he actually played well during their midseason winning streak.” He remains a capable starter. He is still mobile and able to make all of the throws. To be honest, his abilities haven’t really suffered. The fit as a person is more important. There, his teammates appeared to like him.
In general, Wilson appears to have choices available to him should the Broncos decide to release him. Seeing if the Minnesota Vikings are among the teams to try to sign the former Super Bowl champion will undoubtedly be interesting.
