The coach has a history of bringing back former players. This one would be the strangest reunion yet. There are a lot of hurdles to overcome for a Wilson reunion in Seattle. The one that looms large is reports that Wilson wanted Pete Carroll fired.

Denver has already benched Wilson for the final two games of the regular season. “Russell Wilson is expecting to be cut by the Denver Broncos in March, per league sources,” Russini noted in a series of December 27 messages on X. “For almost two months, the quarterback has been starting knowing the organization was most likely going to move on him from after this season.
