Russell Wilson certainly had a rocky time in Denver when he played for the Broncos in 2022 and '23. The two sides didn't end on the best terms before he was signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency this past offseason.
Wilson was seen as the future of the Broncos organization when he signed a five-year contract extension worth $242.6 million in Sept. 2022. His first year resulted in a 5–12 record with head coach Nathaniel Hackett being fired during the season. That eventually brought Sean Payton to Denver to lead Wilson in his second season with the Broncos, but that's where tensions rose.
