The Russell Wilson drama in Denver has everyone asking: who’s to blame? On the “Speak” show, Emmanuel Acho and his co-hosts dove into the discussion.
The Broncos recently announced they’re letting go of the 35-year-old quarterback after a bumpy two years, where he managed only 11 wins in 30 starts. Wilson, who still has two years left on his massive $242 million contract, is said to be owed a hefty $39 million by the Broncos for the upcoming season.
According to James Jones, the fault lies with multiple parties. He points to Russell Wilson, suggesting that if he had managed to bring in a few more wins, things wouldn’t have come to this. Jones also hints that perhaps Wilson didn’t quite fit in with the Broncos’ vision, especially without former coach Sean Payton.
LeSean McCoy, however, places the blame squarely on the Broncos. He argues that Wilson, while talented, isn’t the kind of player who can single-handedly turn around a franchise. McCoy questions whether the Broncos consulted Wilson about their coaching decisions, suggesting they didn’t set him up for success.
Joy Taylor adds another layer to the debate, seeing fault on both sides. She calls out ego as a significant factor, pointing to Wilson’s desire to leave Seattle and the Broncos’ willingness to make big moves to acquire him. Taylor suggests that both parties let their egos get in the way of making sound decisions.
So, who’s at fault in the Russell Wilson saga? According to the “Speak” crew, it’s a mix of Wilson, the Broncos, and their inflated egos.
