Sean Payton Not Closing The Door On Return Of Russell Wilson

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson bounced back from a disastrous 2022 season in 2023. The veteran completed over 66% of his passes for 3,070 yards, 26 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 15 starts. However, the Broncos still benched him for the team's final two games, marking what looked to be the end of his time in Denver. However, head coach Sean Payton said Wilson has a chance to return in 2024, "That final decision has not been made," Payton said. Ultimately, this report should be taken with a grain of salt, as things have seemingly gotten ugly between the QB and the head coach. It would be surprising if Wilson is back in Denver next year, but Payton has not closed the door on it happening.
