Part of the reason Brown had such a strong reaction to this is Wilson’s future in the NFL is uncertain. For starters, he is virtually guaranteed to be released by the Denver Broncos around the official start of the 2024 league season. Then, Wilson needs to find another home.Ezoic
For Wilson to find a new home, he would likely have to take a significant pay cut. In 2023, Wilson had 3,070 passing yards and 26 touchdown passes in 15 starts. However, if Wilson is willing to take less money, there are a handful of teams around the NFL who could likely use a quarterback.Ezoic
