Kiszla: After throwing Russell Wilson under the bus, how long before Sean Payton loses trust of Broncos locker room?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:44:16 GMT

With arrogance as ugly as it is unfounded, Broncos coach Sean Payton tapped into another page Wednesday from his big jerk playbook. He took the football away from Russell Wilson, because Wilson now serves Payton better as a scapegoat than a quarterback.“I’m hopeful it gives us a spark,” Payton said.He insisted benching Wilson for Jarrett Stidham was a football move all about winning for a team that’s two weeks away from packing up the gear and heading to Cancun for vacation.Maybe Payton believes he can BS all of us knuckleheads all the time.But I don’t believe a word you’re saying, Sparky.My lack of trust in Payton goes far beyond the fact Wilson has won 115 regular-season games in his NFL career, while Stidham is a 27-year-old journeyman who has won zero.This move stinks of money, because details of his $245-million contract extension would make it extremely costly for Denver if Wilson gets seriously injured before messy divorce proceedings with the team begin in the offseason.
