DangeRuss reportedly neglected the Philadelphia Eagles in order to play for the Broncos
After demanding a release from the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson signed a blockbuster deal with the Denver Broncos in the 2022 offseason. During that time, he came very close to playing for the Eagles, as reported by Sports Illustrated’s Greg Bishop and Seattle Sports’ Mike Salk. As soon as the fans got to know about this news, Twitter ended up getting bombarded with plethora of reactions.

Apparently, Wilson’s no-trade clause gave him the power to refuse the move. Even though the deal did not work out, it all panned out perfectly for Philadelphia as Jalen Hurts ended up taking them to the Super Bowl, whereas Wilson went on to have one of the worst seasons ever for a QB while representing the Broncos.
Russell’s Broncos finished with an unfortunate 5-12 record, which resulted in the firing of Nathaniel Hackett. They appointed Sean Payton as their new head coach. This move from Denver suggests that if Wilson fails to deliver once again, he might also get traded next year.
