The Russell Wilson era in Denver appears destined to be far shorter than the team imagined when it acquired him from Seattle two years ago. In 2023, Wilson was benched to avoid a $37 million injury guarantee for 2025 if he couldn’t pass a physical in March. Speaking of March, the Broncos will be on the hook for that $37 million if he remains on the roster on the 17th of the month.
That makes it likely Wilson will not be a Bronco for much longer and will instead be a free agent in the very near future. He wasn’t awful last season, finishing as fantasy’s QB14 while averaging more than 17 points in 15 games. However, that’s a far cry from his Seattle days when Wilson was a 20-point-per-game quarterback.
If Wilson is in fact on the move, there won’t be any shortage of suitors for the 35-year-old quarterback, even if he is past his prime. And while he isn’t likely to regain his No. 1 fantasy field general status from the past ever again, he could remain a viable No. 2 option if he lands in the right situation. Here are five landing spots where Wilson would be best served, in terms of real and fantasy football.
