Wilson needs to stfu w this kind of bullshit.  Weirdo.

You do realize that Kelce never said those things right?

[AFCWEST 1,238]

With only two games left in the season, the Broncos have all but certainly given a top-five draft pick to the Seattle Seahawks from the Russell Wilson trade, and the new ownership group is going to have to be prepared to make some tough decisions.

Nathaniel Hackett’s seat is so hot that it’s surprising he’s still able to keep his pants intact after sitting down. George Paton, the man who gave Russell Wilson the $245 million contract and $165 million guaranteed without ever seeing him take a snap as a Bronco may not feel so comfortable. And Wilson himself, who appears to be a shell of his former self, just how much can the franchise afford to gamble that a new staff will fix all his issues?

In a 51-14 blowout loss to another 4-win team, there are no silver linings. You can point fingers at the coach, Russell Wilson, the offensive line, the color orange and everything in between, but in the end it really doesn’t matter. The 2022 season has been over for weeks and, despite the hype, never really began in the first place.

The Broncos are a joke.

The Russell Wilson circus needs to end. The Nathaniel Hackett experiment has blown up in all of our faces. General Manager George Paton’s clown shoes and makeup are no longer hidden by that slick suit. This season is a monster of all their making and they all need to pack their crap and move along. Seriously.

What we saw on Sunday was far more than the ‘embarrassment’ than headlines and quotes claim. This was an atomic implosion of incompetence the likes of which we haven’t seen since the Josh McDaniels era.

NATHANIEL HACKETTHC, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT

Broncos fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett.

Hackett's tenure with the Broncos last longer than most expected after the team went into December with a 3-8 record and an offense that was one of the worst in the league. If being one of the first teams in the league to be officially eliminated from playoff contention wasn't embarrassing enough, Hackett's Broncos were dismantled 51-14 on Christmas day by a Rams team that featured several reserves on both sides of the ball and forced three interceptions of $245 million quarterback Russell Wilson. After leading two top-10 scoring seasons in Green Bay, the former Packers offensive coordinator leaves a Broncos team that's currently ranked 32nd in points per game (15.5) and 26th in offensive yards per game (316.6).

Hackett fired. Hope they hire another idiot. I hope LV & SD keep their current idiot coaches.

Good point. I think they only had one good game offensively this year and that was us

Maybe KC can send EB back with Denver as their head coach?

Everybody has their best game against the Chiefs. Don't know why, but it always seems like we can turn a backup QB into an all-pro starter. That wasn't the case Saturday, thankfully. Hopefully the defense is making strides and gaining confidence as the season progresses.

Yup. Frank and GKs intensity has increased a tiny bit and the defense looks better. Just think if we had a real pass rushing threat??

that would be a Christmas Miracle but they'll probably hire Nagy 

 Interestingly enough on CBS's pre-game show yesterday there was some talk between James Brown and Cowher that made me believe someone may have contacted him about a coaching job...lord I hope not Denver for Bill's sake I always liked him

RANDY GREGORYEDGE, DENVER BRONCOS

NFL suspended EDGE Randy Gregory for one game for violations of the unsportsmanlike conduct and unnecessary roughness rule.

Imagine if the Chiefs FO would have been smart enough to hire Cowher as HC when they had a chance... Marty was great... but Cowher was a step above IMO... they should have found a way.

He just lost his shit, that's all.  I would too.  Hell, all he has to do is read the Chiefs forum.

 yea IF the FO coulda got him instead of Herm in 07 right after his Steeler retirement that'd been choice but he had already turned down the Cowboy job and really had no interest in coaching as his soon to be deceased wife had cancer.

When he got the Steeler job  the Chiefs just had a 11-5 then 10-6 records so they'd of been hard pressed to of fire Marty and hire Bill then..overall just bad timing but yea having Bill as a Chiefs coach was a dream of mine for years

Sean Payton is coming to work for the newest Walmart in Denver.

[oldtimer 8,686]

someone else with no HC experience lol

Senior assistant coach Jerry Rosburg, the long-time Baltimore Ravens assistant that was brought in to help Hackett with game management, will reportedly be interim head coach, according to ESPN. 

[AFCWEST 1,238]

 Wilson is set to take an $107 million dead cap hit if the Broncos cut him, and an $82 million dead money charge if he's traded pre-June 1. 

Whether that would be by trade or he would be cut, the consequences for the Broncos could be astronomical in the coming years (all values pre-June 1, courtesy of OverTheCap):

Year	Dead money (Cut)	Dead money (Trade)
2023	$107 million	$82 million
2024	$85 million	$68 million
2025	$49.6 million	$49.6 million
2026	$31.2 million	$31.2 million
2027	$12.8 million	$12.8 million
2028	$4.4 million	$4.4 million

Cap savings say that the most realistic option for the the Broncos to move on from him is after the 2025 season, when they'll incur that $49.6 million dead cap charge but save $5.8 million against their cap.

If Wilson is on the roster of the fifth day of the 2024 league year, then his salary becomes fully guaranteed — thus complicating matters even further. 

All that to say: Russell Wilson probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and whoever the next head coach is will have a big reclamation project on his hands.

Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator is once again front and center when it comes to NFL head coaching rumors for another year.

Just in case you thought Eric Bieniemy’s time had run its course as a prime head coaching candidate (somehow without ever having gotten a job), you can rest assured his name will be bandied about once again. That’s at least what we’re seeing in the early rumor cycles of names associated with the Denver Broncos.
