His isn’t fully guaranteed? Guess that only happens when you pull a Watson

Bad news for Lamar Jackson. After Kyler and now Wilson, it's looking more and more like the other NFL owners aren't going to normalize that terrible Watson deal.

In other news Joe Burrow just found out he’s going to be a billionaire.

This is actually good news for the Bengals - the thing they are least equipped to handle is guaranteed money and it seems other teams are showing unwillingness to do what Cleveland did.

This is a brilliant move by the Broncos.

Wilson still had 2 years on his deal. By 2024 top QBs will probably be getting $60 million a year. By the last yera of this Contract Wilson will be in the bottom half of the league in QB salary.

And Russ Wilson is a Hall-of-Fame QB with a squeaky-clean image.

It's been a well-run organization for a long time & they seem to succeed at making the right moves.

Yes, a very well ran organization.  But they have been hurt a lot by poor QB choices.
