If the feeling leaving Indianapolis is that there isn\u2019t an avenue for the team to get one of the quarterback prospects they like, then they\u2019ll look to potential veteran options.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.spokesman.com\/photos\/2023\/12\/27\/658caa215a1dc.hires.jpg\" alt=\"Commentary: Russell Wilson's post-Seahawks career somehow hits a new low |  The Spokesman-Review\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One option to keep an eye on is Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson. He\u2019s fallen from grace since being a nine-time Pro Bowler and it looks like Denver is going to move on. The team could trade him but they\u2019d have to eat the vast majority of the $242 million contract he signed two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>It seems more likely that Wilson will be released and sign elsewhere this offseason but CBS Sports\u2019 Chris Trapasso predicted the Raiders to trade for the quarterback in a February 29 column. Now, inner-division trades are very rare, especially when it comes to quarterbacks. Considering that and Wilson\u2019s contract, it\u2019s hard to imagine any kind of trade would materialize. The Raiders certainly wouldn\u2019t be willing to give up much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Russell Wilson Could Take Minimum Contract<\/strong><br \/>\nRussell Wilson has won a Super Bowl and had a long stint as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. He\u2019s 35 now but his brief Broncos stint has to leave a sour taste in his mouth. According to ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler, he\u2019s willing to pay for a major discount in order to prove he\u2019s still an impact player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody I\u2019ve talked to around the league expects the Denver Broncos at some point around the new league year in the next few weeks to rip the band-aid off and release Russell Wilson even though they owe him $39 million in guaranteed money,\u201d Fowler said during the February 25 episode of \u201cSportsCenter,\u201d via Bleacher Report. \u201cBut they can start new, he can go sign somewhere else. The feeling is he\u2019ll sign for considerably less, maybe even the league minimum, because he\u2019s got all that money in hand guaranteed. And so, he\u2019s going to have options. The feeling I get from talking to teams and scouts is that he\u2019s still an NFL starter, there will be a job somewhere for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Signing Wilson to the league minimum isn\u2019t much of a risk and it\u2019d be easy to cut him if he wasn\u2019t working out.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Russell Wilson \ud83d\ude80 Marvin Mims <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/o0BWEiU9xD\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/o0BWEiU9xD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF (@PFF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF\/status\/1703513505280774529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">September 17, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Russell Wilson Could Like Idea of Playing Against Denver Broncos<\/strong><br \/>\nRussell Wilson has a reputation of being one of the nice guys in the NFL but even he might be irked by what\u2019s happened in Denver. Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports thinks that the Raiders are the best fit for the quarterback partly because they\u2019re in the same division as the Broncos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRussell Wilson\u2019s market may be even thinner than most realize, which speaks to the rapid decline in his dual-threat stardom since exiting the Seattle Seahawks,\u201d Benjamin wrote in a March 1 column. \u201cHe remains a serviceable starter, however, and that\u2019s precisely what the Raiders need after whiffing badly on Jimmy Garoppolo a year ago. Again, a rookie may be more appealing, but Antonio Pierce has some win-now weapons. Presuming he\u2019s outright released, Wilson could also relish the chance to play the Denver Broncos at least twice a year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Las Vegas Raiders have met many of the top quarterback prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine and they should be getting a better idea of whether&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98983,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mlbhi.aweu.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
