Russ will get a chance somewhere next season if/when he is released. It's not that many competent QB's in the league so a team will talk themselves into thinking they can get something out of him.
Russell Wilson traded to Broncos!!

Majority of people in the comments on sports sites are calling out Sean Payton. Good.
This is highly likely to come back and bite Sean Payton and the Broncos organization in the azz.
Russ has lost a few steps, but he’s still an above average quarterback in my opinion. He’s definitely overpaid at this point in his career, but the Broncos are going to be still on the hook to pay him and go into next year and the next with a bunch of dead money on their cap which will prohibit the caliber guy they can get.
Sean Payton wants to pick his own guy, but that’s a dangerous game and it’s usually no more than 3-4 franchise hall of fame level guys in the league at any given time that are QB1’s.
Broncos going to mess around and be stuck with some Bailey Zappe, Zack Wilson, or maybe a Jacoby Brissett type guy and that’s if they’re lucky if they don’t strike paydirt in the draft.
Payton got lucky in New Orleans with Brees and a GM in Loomis that was a yes man to him and got a Super Bowl out of it and probably had a good chance at another if not for that missed PI call in the 2018 NFC championship game, but he’s in a totally different situation in Denver. He probably should have held out for that Chargers or Packers gig. We’ll see how this plays out, I could be totally wrong.

I think two things can be true :
1) Russ was never gonna be exactly what Payton wants or live up to the trade/contract in Denver
2) He would be a godsend for a handful of teams like Atlanta or Pittsburgh who have tons of talent rotting on offense right now
Russ…..Giants or Jets take your pick
Patriots game - sean payton loss
Detroit game - payton loss with not challenging but get mad at russ
Redskin game - payton fault
Miami Game - payton loss
Russ lose the jets game and somewhat the texans game, but those games goes on payton as well, when dude team is losing he still calling run on first and second down in the 4th quarter and then wants to call a run and shoot offense with 6 minutes left in games

People see this has nothing to do with football or play on the field. It's purely driven by the contract/injury clause and no matter how much the media tries to complain about Russ leaking shyt...the truth is the truth. I am NOT a Russ fan at all but he's clearly not the issue here. And like I said, if Denver wanted to bench that's fine. But that should have been discussed and decided for the first time THIS week. Not multiple weeks ago when the team was contending for a playoff spot.
This strikes me as a locker room killing decision. Do I think that squad "likes" Russ? Nah not really. But he had them in position, they were on a winning streak and things were looking up until we (Lions) blew them out. And that was largely a matter of the Denver defense falling apart.
Put Russ on the Jets this year and they ball out. He can still play in the right situation. You're gonna need a good defense though.

Hell the Cowboys might be up soon if they flame out again.

told my mans this:
“if I’m the Falcons I get Russell Wilson in the off-season and whoever the quarterback coach is for the 49ers
Atlanta is a run first team so the 49ers QB coach can introduce a whole bunch of play action concepts to keep pressure off of Wilson, and he has big targets in Kyle Pitts and Drake London
nobody they’re going to get in the draft is going to be able to get as many wins as Wilson could and Drake London and Kyle Pitts are going into year three”
