As announced earlier today, the Broncos are benching QB Russell Wilson and naming Jarrett Stidham as the starter.
This announcement comes as a shock, as Wilson has shown an immense amount of improvement from earlier this season. With the Broncos still fighting for a playoff spot, this benching makes no sense.
After this shocking news was revealed, new information was reported regarding Wilson's issues with the team, explaining that the Broncos wanted to bench him weeks ago after Wilson refused to remove his injury guarantees:
As reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz, this benching move is strictly for financial reasons, and the team is clearly too cheap to pay him what he wants.
This decision comes as a shock to us all, and I think most of us have lost respect for HC Sean Payton and the entire Broncos organization.
