Don’t even think about taking a QB high either. That will just piss him off.
Hell, even if Wilson just has another year like he's had in Seattle the past couple of seasons, he's still got them fucked to rights. They will have to give him the next top QB contract. There's no other way. [Reply]
"Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio suggested in April that Wilson's camp will shoot for a contract in the Deshaun Watson range: "at least" $46 million per year, "with every penny guaranteed." Depending on how deep the next Broncos owner's pockets go, such might be the negotiational floor rather than the ceiling."
The above is quoted from an article at Mile High Huddle that I saw on Facebook. I was going to try to paste the link here but I screwed up as usual and exited the page and now it's no longer on my feed. :-)
Edit: This sounds like a more likely contract demand that just $25 million a year. [Reply]

Good luck, Broncos!!
John Elway set his career high for TD passes in a season when he was 37 years old
Steve Young did it too at 37
Peyton Manning threw 55 TD's at 37 years old
Aaron Rodgers set his career high for TD passes at 37 years old
Tom Brady had a career high 5,316 passing yards and threw 43 TD's, the second-most of his career, at age 44
Brett Favre had the highest QB Rating of his career at 40 years old
Russell Wilson spends over $1,000,000 per year on his body and even hired Michael Jordan's and Kobe Bryant's personal trainer. He plans on playing at a high level for the next 10 years. [Reply]

Ah yes….despite his already-declining athleticism and struggles to control his weight, he’s going to become the 2nd player in NFL history to play at a high level at Brady’s age. Sounds like a good bet. :-) [Reply]

Why compare Wilson to a bunch of MVP's?, lol
Elway won MVP when he was 27
Young won MVP when he was 32
Manning won the MVP when he was 27
Rodgers won MVP when he was 28
Brady won MVP when he was 30
Farve won the MVP when he was 26
Mahomes won the MVP when he was 23
Russell Wilson will be 34 this season and has never even received a single vote for MVP. :-) [Reply]

His weight and body composition are exactly where he and his team want it at.

Wilson, who hadn't missed a game to injury in his career up until 2021 when he missed three games with a finger injury, told Simmons that he pays an entire performance team to focus on keeping him and his wife Ciara in the best health possible throughout the year.
His team includes:
A full-time physical therapist, Drew Morcos, that assists in his workout and practice recovery
A full-time mobility trainer, Janet Jin, that tracks and adjusts his movement patterns to help him avoid injuries and unnecessary strain on his body
A full-time massage therapist that performs regular massage treatments on Wilson 10 hours per week, according to ESPN.
Morcos told ESPN that his work helped the quarterback recover quicker than usual and from a leg injury in 2016. Morcos said he worked with Wilson to improve flexibility in his hips, which ensured he didn't have to miss any games after the injury but it also helped him avoid an MCL tear.
Jin, who Wilson hired in 2017, told ESPN that she works with Wilson on mobility, stability, and activation, and her biggest priority is to make sure that all of his muscles are functioning and none are stiff when it comes time for a practice, workout, or game.
So Mahomes will only get better with age then too by that logic. You are so fucked. You couldn't beat a rookie Mahomes in pile high playing with backups :-)
Will the streak reach 20? Mahomes has already accomplished more than Elway did up to 36 :-) [Reply]

I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. How many votes did you say R Wilson has gotten for MVP? Not just last year but all together, his entire NFL career.
So, all together, how many MVP votes has Wilson gotten? [Reply]
"You never know sometimes with these trades when a player is no longer what he once was. We saw signs of it last year (with Wilson). He wasn't running as much as he used to. To me."
The analyst added:
"I've seen him in some pictures. I saw him at the Denver Nuggets game dapping up (the MVP Nikola) Jokic. And Russell looks a little chubby to me...just a little overweight and he's shorter. So he kind of wears it.
Can’t wait til Chris Jones and Karlaftis get their hands on this fat midget. :-) [Reply]
