Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson walks the sideline during the action in the first half of the game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Jan. 7, 2024. Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton, right, has Denver Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham starting the game against the Las Vegas Raiders took on Denver Broncos during week 18 of NFL season.
Denver will pick up Surtain’s fifth-year option between now and May 2, which will give him a guaranteed $19.802 million salary for 2025. But that’s really just a placeholder for starting extension talks. If they can’t find a deal, there’s always the franchise tag option in 2026. But both sides would probably rather find a long-term agreement.
I don’t want to see us reach for a quarterback in the first round, especially with the talent that’s supposed to be in next year’s draft class. We have too many holes and this seems like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.Second thought first, Mark. That’s what makes No. 12 kind of a tricky spot. Especially after Minnesota acquired a second first-round pick , it seems likely that four quarterbacks are coming off the board in the top 10 picks.
The $39 million is actual cash Wilson is owed this year. It will be split between Pittsburgh and Denver . Whatever the Steelers pay Wilson only reduces Denver’s cash obligation, which is why he was happy to play at the minimum. No reason to reduce Pittsburgh’s flexibility in any capacity when it doesn’t impact Wilson’s pay in the slightest.
Obviously, instead we got an unprecedented situation and a double-the-previous-record dead cap charge. We got the Broncos deciding they’d rather take $85 million in cap space the next two years than keep him on the roster another year and incur $37 million more in cash and cap charges.
