Sign Russell for Vet Minimum?

[qmar]

I read somewhere that Wilson can sign anywhere for the vet minimum and it would just come off the salary he is already receiving from Denver ($30M+). So he basically can’t earn anything more than what he is getting from Denver, unless a team wants to pay him more than $30M.

He will probably just end up taking a year off and collecting a paycheck for doing nothing, but teams should definitely consider trying to sign him as a backup. Who knows, maybe he would be fine in a back up role if he is seeking another ring.

Russell Wilson seems destined to start 8 games for an NFC south team next year.

Trade Tua, free up the 20m. Move up for Pennix and sign Russel for a year. Works for me.

Would make a lot of sense. Not sure he's ready to take a backup job quite yet. He can probably be a starter somewhere.

Absolutely no. Russell's a "me first" sanctimonious turd who has the ability to infect team culture. Keep him away from Tua. There is a reason why Denver are taking a massive $38M dead cap hit this season and next season as well, just to get rid of him (and they don't have a QB to replace him). Yes, he'd come cheap and he has a big chip on his shoulder, but letting Russell in the building would smash the good team culture of last season in 10 seconds. I doubt that Mike McDaniel could put up with him.

Nope Russell should retire to sing with Alvin the chipmunks

Maybe Atlanta if they don't get Cousins.

 

[Michael Scott]

He’s going to sign with a team that gives him an opportunity to start.

That is thankfully not the Miami Dolphins.

I’ll take Ciara and her goodies though.

Steelers make sense.

No it wouldn't.

 

[fin007]

Lmao. No way Russel goes unsigned for a real contract. Someone will pay him $6 mill a year min. He will decline.

League minimum?

QB's are hard to come by and yet 2 teams couldn't wait to get rid of him for a reason.
