Is Russell Wilson preparing for a split from the Denver Broncos? It seems so, as the seasoned quarterback and his wife Ciara are currently entertaining offers for their mansion in the Denver area, as reported by Business Den.
After being traded from Seattle in 2022, the couple acquired the Cherry Hills Village residence for $25 million. In addition to fielding offers for the property, they are conducting tours for potential buyers, according to the report.
Speculation about Wilson’s future in Denver intensified following his benching in the final games of the 2023 season, despite his strong performance leading up to that point. With a completion percentage of 66.4%, last season marked his highest since 2020. Russell also threw 26 touchdowns, with just eight interceptions.
When questioned about the choice to sideline Wilson, Broncos head coach Sean Payton emphasized that the decision was motivated by the team’s pursuit of victories. At that juncture, the Broncos, still in contention for an AFC playoff spot, were recovering from back-to-back losses to the Lions and Patriots.
Denver secured a victory in the first game with Wilson benched but concluded the season with a road defeat against the Raiders, resulting in an 8-9 record for the season.
Despite being benched, Wilson expressed his desire to continue his career with the Broncos at the end of the year. Around the same time, Payton stated that a definitive decision regarding Wilson had not been reached. Wilson is only two years into his substantial five-year, $242.59 million contract, which includes a potential out after the 2025 season.
The recent news about Wilson’s mansion suggests a potential shift within the Broncos’ organization, indicating that Wilson might be making preparations to move on.
