NFL Fans Had Theories About Russell Wilson’s Future in Denver After Teammates Seemed to Ignore Him

This wasn’t a good look for the Denver Broncos.

Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos had their playoff hopes all but dashed Sunday night when they lost at home in the final seconds to the New England Patriots, 26–23.

The Broncos landed Wilson in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks before the 2022 season in hopes that he would make them Super Bowl contenders. Instead, he’s now had two rough seasons in Denver, and it appears that once again he’s not even going to lead them to the postseason.

Wilson’s future in Denver could come to a close this offseason when the team will have to make a decision on his hefty contract. The QB dodged questions about that after Sunday night’s loss.  

One particular play in the first half against the Patriots had some fans speculating about Wilson’s future with the team, as it looked as if three of his teammates ignored him after he took a really bad sack.

Russell Wilson is done in Denver.

Look at this play. His offensive line looks at him on the ground, following a sack… and they just walk away.

This is what a broken QB looks like and there's no coming back from it https://t.co/fCnsWGhXTW

Interesting

Although I agree that he’s done in Denver, I don’t believe it’s because of this moment #BroncosCountry https://t.co/UXyFpSM6di

Russ is don’t in Denver not because he’s awful. Because Sean Payton doesn’t trust him or like him. Russ might fetch a 3rd from a team dying for better QB play like Atlanta. But I can’t see SP going into next year with the same conservative gameplan he had this season https://t.co/L8qDhWTgUH
