"Russell Wilson's Demotion Saga: Contract Disputes, Team Dynamics, and NFLPA's Stance"
Russell Wilson's agent, Mark Rodgers, claimed that the Denver Broncos threatened to bench Wilson for the remainder of the season if he didn't agree to change the vesting date of his $37 million salary for 2025. The Broncos' front office allegedly made this clear in a call on October 31, but the team has not commented on the allegation. Coach Sean Payton distanced himself from the situation, focusing on winning games and deferring contract matters to the front office. The revelation of this conflict suggests a strained relationship between Wilson and the Broncos, casting doubt on his future with the team beyond the current season.
