There may be more drama right now for the Denver Broncos than an episode of Basketball Wives. Head coach Sean Payton benched Russell Wilson at the end of the season even though he had 28 touchdowns to just eight interceptions and a passer rating of 98.0. The idea was Payton would look to pay Wilson to play anywhere but Denver in 2024. Then Russ said he wanted to stay in Denver. Stay tuned for the next episode. That makes quarterback an immediate need in the 2024 NFL Draft to start with. Then we have to factor in that linebacker Josey Jewell and center Lloyd Cushenberry are free agents. Lastly, the team is $24 million over the cap. Not only can they not fill needs in free agency, they will need to cut some players to get under the cap, creating more holes (Tim Patrick, Justin Simmons, and Garrett Bolles could be among the cap casualties).
