Was expected but it came a little early Russell Wilson will be released by the Broncos they informed him that just 18 months after they signed him to a 5-year $242 million contract they traded five picks in three players Russell was Bench the final two games of last season by

Shawn pton and now he’s free to find his next destination here’s Chey with the Insight his mindset is I’m ready to go win and show people people that I am the type of quarterback that I know I am now it’s up to another team to give him that opportunity but somebody’s going to

Strike out on Kurt Cousins somebody’s not going to land Justin Fields somebody’s going to be sitting there in the end saying why would we not take a gamble a roll of the dice a dart throw on a guy who cost us nothing and because of all those elements I believe he comes

Into play in more plac places than people think because of all the elements surrounding his particular situation and you Fowler was nodding along as he was talking and he’s going to have more interest than you thought and by the way legler asked us right before the show how old is Russell

Wilson now he’s 35 I think sometimes we perceive him to be much older than that because he started as a rookie feels like he’s been around forever he was in the same draft class as Robert Griffin I thir we got RG3 signal working just in time perfect so Robert I’ll start with

You because we you know what and you and I talked about it this morning that there’s been a narrative out there about Russell and I think you’ve got a lot you want to say about it yeah greeny I’ve been waiting for this conversation for quite some time appreciate you having me

Back on the show the bottom line is Russell Wilson’s a starting quarterback in the NFL he’s easily a top 20 quarterback in the NFL and I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired of hearing Russell Wilson’s name get drugged through the mud you’re talking about a

Guy that in year one in Denver yeah it was a disaster but last year I I watched every snap from the past two seasons and Russell Wilson had a top five touchdown to interception ratio 26 touchdowns to eight interceptions he led the Broncos in the middle of the season to a 5- 0

Record and beat the likes of Patrick momes Josh Allen and that vaunted Browns defense so for me hearing everyone talk about him the way that they have isn’t doesn’t really match up to the way he played and it certainly doesn’t match up to the fact that Russell Wilson is a

Hall of Fame quarterback he’s had a Hall of Fame career already at this point in his in his timeline and he’s not getting the respect that he has earned not only from a guy like Shawn Peyton who came in there to coach him but also from the

Media and you notice I said earned not deserved because life isn’t fair but Russell Wilson has proven that he can play the position at a high level and now he has an opportunity to go prove that he can still be that guy for another 3 four five years that’s it’s

It’s a a really interestingly made point and very well made on your part and I would actually add to it sometimes it feels like Shawn Payton was brought in there to get rid of him he could say he was brought in there to coach him it it

Felt almost from the moment it started like he was brought in there to initiate that change one year after they basically gave up the Sun the moon and the stars to bring him in there although Harry I was listening to your radio show yesterday and you had I don’t know that

It’s necessarily A contrary position but it was an interesting one yeah Grinny um from what I witnessed from Shawn Payton when it came to Russell Wilson since the moment he got there and then when we got the news yesterday that he was going to be released of his duties and the $85

Million cap hit that they’re going to be taken on they didn’t only dislike Russell Wilson in my eyes and you see on this screen right now Shawn pton the way he treated Russell Wilson as well he hated Russell Wilson and I think that was evident to see you go to somebody

During the season and ask them to take a uh get rid of their injury claws in their contract and you’re still you still have an opportunity to contend for the playoffs that don’t tell me that you like that human being you have a franchise quarterback and you publicly

You know humiliate humiliate him on TV in front of the world that doesn’t tell me you like him it tells me you might hate him and then you’re willing to take on that $85 million in cap hit by cutting Russell Wilson I just think it

Was a it was a match made in hell for the Denver Broncos and also Russell Wilson by joining Shawn Payton and connecting those two together and the way Russell Wilson played last year it was evident if he was on the Atlanta Falcons hell they would have made the

Playoffs if he was on the Pittsburgh Steelers they would have been better at the quarterback position if he was with the New England Patriots they would have been better at the quarterback position so I don’t think Russell Wilson deserve a lot of the treatment that he got from the Denver Broncos organization all

Right I think a lot of that is fair so as we set the sort of table with that now we come to our information man extra ordinaire Jeremy you were you and I were just talking cuz leg legler is the best football fan you’ll ever meet he’s grilling Fowler sitting over here before

The show starts you think he’s going to have a lot of options don’t you yes because of the value his free agency essentially starts today even though he’s not going to be cut until the new league year Denver’s given him permission to go talk with teams so that

Could get started in Earnest some dominoes need to fall Kurt Cousins Justin Fields Etc but it can’t be overstated what kind of value he is because he can literally sign for the vet minimum because Denver’s paying him $3 $9 million and I’m told that plan is

Firmly on his radar he wants to help his new team by being a bargain so there will be a market for that he wants to go to a team I’m told to not only win but has an infrastructure a history of winning well so give me some places we

Should be keeping an eye on I’m looking at Vegas the feeling coming out of the combine last week is that Atlanta’s going to have a high pecking order they could certainly walk away with per cousins Baker Mayfield if available Justin Fields but there will be other

Teams that can’t fill that void I look at the r right they haven’t been in the mix on some of those top guys they’re picking 13th overall in the draft can they really jump into the top three that’s going to be hard Sierra can do a Vegas residency over there like the

Vegas lights thrown to Devonte Adams it makes a lot of sense to me so so yeah you you were telling um legler before the show that you like the the feel of that so the idea that he might go somewhere if he’s not guaranteed a job if he doesn’t have any guaranteed money

The Following Season all that kind of stuff I don’t think it’s questioning him in any way to say you know what a lot of guys might just walk away say I’m good here when you hear people suggest that RG3 what do you think well greeny it’s uh the suggestion

Isn’t what bothers me that he might that he on his own you know under his own control walk away from the game of football that’s different than saying he’s not good enough to play or that no one is going to want him I feel like right now for Russell Wilson he’s going

To need a season to rehabilitate His Image publicly so I look at this as the perfect opportunity for Russell to have his Alex Smith Arc think about Alex Smith when he went from sanfan to the Kansas City Chiefs they ended up drafting Patrick Mahomes he sat for a year behind Alex

And then Alex got traded to Washington and signed a 90 million plus dollar extension I feel like that’s where Russell Wilson is right now so to take him to Pittsburg who seems like they might be ready to win now in the division with Joe burrow and Lamar

Jackson and DeShawn Watson I don’t know if that’s ideal that’s why everyone wants to go to Atlanta because they know that division is weak but my ideal fit for Russell Wilson would be the New England Patriots I understand it’s a firsttime head coach and you’re saying to yourself why would you put him

Through the same thing you put him through with uh uh hacket there Nathaniel Hackett but for me it gives him an opportunity to naturally be a leader be a stabilizing Force for an organization that has a history of winning and that we all believe is going

To take a quarterback in the high part of that draft that guy can learn from Russell Wilson and Russell Wilson can use that to piggyback himself to a new team which he does want to play for another four five six years it’s a little you know that’s going to be into

His 40s but that’s what he wants to do I think he has to reestablish himself this year well look I mean I think that the definition of old for a quarterback has been Rewritten at this point Tom Brady playing till he was 45 Aaron Rogers now

Playing into his 40s guys are doing it and it makes sense and you see Harry’s picks there Falcon Steelers we’ll see which way they wind up going very quickly one other piece of big news here let me just let Jeremy run through all the franchise tag stories of the day

Because today is the deadline for this you see it there less than 8 hours let’s go through some of the hot spots here starting in Kansas City yes leria sne cornerback star is franchise tagged he’s under contract now for $19.8 million next year but the Chiefs are working on

A potential tag and trade sending him to a new team Detroit is believed to be in the high-end quarterback Market they’re trying to get over the hump Miami is a potential option so the Chiefs are trying right now to resign Chris Jones to a deal that could be close to $30

Million a year while they’re dealing with this sneeze situation so it’s very much one to watch and you go to Cincinnati T Higgins he already has the franchise tag with the Bengals he’s in the plans for 2024 at around $22 million but I’m told he wants a long-term deal

This is not necessarily A cordial situation at the moment because this is a player who really would be a number one receiver on a lot of teams he’s set to get paid it’s uncertain whether the Bengals are willing to pay him what he wants teams will be in the market for

Him they’re going to probably dangle some trade picks to see if they can acquire him and see if the Bengals move off them and actually make that move and you got the New York Giants today with Sequon Barkley the expectation at large is that he will not be franchise tagged

That number would be about $12 million that’s a little steep for the running back position at this point but I’m also told the Giants haven’t totally taken it off the table they’ve been evaluating saquon Barkley and their star safety Xavier mckenny so possibly they put the

Tag on one of them but it’s largely not expected and Barkley will have suitors he’ll be the top option among a loaded running back free agent and off he goes a Little
