Broncos wide receiver Jerry Judy has tallied reports that Wilson has an office and private parking space at the team facility, which he got from Shannon Sharp’s rant on Fox Sports’ “Undisputed.” Specifically, Sharp challenged Wilson’s supposed me-first attitude and said the team’s next head coach should take away his office and parking space. Stated.
However, Judy had a strange reaction. He began by criticizing “false statements” about Wilson — which, according to Sharpe, probably caused the quarterback to “offend a lot of people” with his attitude — and in the next sentence, Wilson admitted that he does have an office.
Seriously, read this:
In all fairness to Wilson and Judy, the idea of Wilson having his own office and parking space should be far from the Broncos’ biggest concern right now. I don’t know if he uses it as often or if he’s the only quarterback to have that office.
But it’s also possible that while Judy liked to have Wilson as her teammate, other Broncos players were less enthusiastic. For The Caught Man, that he has an office and a parking space fits nicely into the unflattering narrative that inspired Overdrive this season.
Office or not, the Broncos definitely need to figure out how to get Wilson going. Fired Hackett, but firing Wilson is going to be much more difficult in the next few years.
The veteran signed a contract extension in the final offseason that tied him to the Broncos for the next seven seasons, with a total of $296 million and a new bond of $161 million. The only time the team can realistically release him is in 2025, and he has his $55.4 million cap his hit against his $49.6 million dead money, according to Spotrac.
At that point, the Broncos may want Wilson to stay in the office as long as he pleases.
