Ian Rapoport recently shed light on the complexities of Russell Wilson’s contract situation on his X account. The core issue in Wilson’s benching revolves around an injury clause in Wilson’s contract with the Broncos.
This specific clause guarantees Wilson’s $37 million salary if he suffers an in-season injury. Not to mention, two months ago, the Broncos approached Wilson about modifying this clause. However, Wilson’s refusal to change the contract terms led to his benching in the final two games of the season.
