Heading into the 2024 offseason, the Denver Broncos must figure out a solution to its Russell Wilson conundrum.
Head coach Sean Payton hinted during his January 9 press conference that the door remains open for Wilson. If the door behind Wilson slams shut, an NFC team could emerge as an option for the star.
NFL insider Jeremy Fowler says not to be “surprised” if Wilson is “intrigued” with the Minnesota Vikings if released by Denver.
“Don’t be surprised if Wilson, should he become a free agent, is intrigued by Minnesota,” Fowler wrote in his article published January 16. “Assuming Kirk Cousins doesn’t re-sign with the Vikings (a big question). Kevin O’Connell comes from the Sean McVay passing tree that maximizes quarterback efficiency. Wilson would have plenty of weapons in a group that includes Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson and Jordan Addison.”
Like the Broncos, the Vikings must figure out what to do with an aging quarterback. Cousins made eight starts with Minnesota before suffering a season-ending torn Achilles in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.
