It’s safe to say that the Russell Wilson/Sean Payton beef still exists.
The Seattle Seahawks great and former Denver Broncos quarterback left the Broncos on bad terms after he was benched by Sean Payton with two weeks left in the 2023 regular season. Denver wasn’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet, but reportedly the Broncos threatened to bench Wilson in October (when they were 1-5) over injury guarantee money. Wilson was released by the Broncos in 2024 and he’s currently with the New York Giants as the backup to Jaxson Dart, who replaced Wilson due to poor performance in Week 4.
Dart played a significant role in the Giants giving the Broncos all they could handle in an utterly chaotic and preposterous 33-32 loss. Payton may have taken a shot at Russell Wilson without menti
