Welcome to ‘Fixer Upper: Denver Broncos’ edition, featuring a project requiring so much work that Chip and Joanna Gaines hung up the phone when asked for consultation.
Sitting at 4-11 with one of the worst offenses in the NFL, the team made the first step in reconstruction by firing head coach Nathaniel Hackett, who from day one seemed in over his head, but the team still has to shoulder a $245 million ($165 million guaranteed) contract that general manager awarded QB Russell Wilson, who is finishing up the worst season of his career by far.
With limited draft capital and a first-round pick that can’t be had until late first-round, the team is in no position to draft their way out of the contract, either, which means for the time being, they are stuck with Wilson.
