According to Bleacher Report’s NFL insider Jordan Schultz, he is reporting that the Denver Broncos threatened to bench quarterback Russell Wilson weeks ago if he did not remove his injury guarantees.
Schultz continues by saying that this move is purely financially driven and has been in place for weeks according to multiple people with direct knowledge of the situation. The initial reports, likely team/Broncos driven indicated that this move is simply to ‘spark’ the offense but this report paints a much different picture.
