Quarterback Russell Wilson expressed his desire to stay with the Denver Broncos during an appearance on the I Am Athlete podcast with Brandon Marshall. Wilson emphasized his commitment to Denver but acknowledged the business aspect of football, mentioning that his $37 million salary for 2025 becomes fully guaranteed on March 17.

Despite Wilson's hope to remain with the Broncos, the team's actions, including benching Wilson for Jarrett Stidham, point to a different outcome. The Broncos may release Wilson before his salary guarantee kicks in, leaving him free to sign with another team for the league minimum of $1.21 million, while the Broncos absorb the remaining $37.79 million.

Wilson's comments about the Broncos wanting him to alter injury guarantees and his belief that the NFL intervened in the decision-making process do not align with the team's perspective. This disconnect further complicates the possibility of a reconciliation between Wilson and the Broncos.

While Wilson expresses his eagerness to win more Super Bowls with the Broncos, the realities of the NFL business suggest that his future in Denver may be short-lived. The March 17 deadline looms as a crucial date that will likely determine Wilson's fate with the team.
