Russell Wilson and wife Ciara faced humiliation at the hands of the Denver Broncos, according to Skip Bayless. The quarterback’s jaw-dropping one-year contract with the Steelers is being tagged as an all-time steal by Skip. While the Broncos left Wilson red-faced, his move to the Steelers has tongues wagging about this incredible deal.
Skip Bayless recently shed light on Russell Wilson and Ciara’s feelings of humiliation while at the Denver Broncos. According to Bayless, the couple felt embarrassed.
Bayless also delved into Wilson’s one-year contract with the Steelers, labeling it as an “all-time steal of a deal.” He highlighted how this move could potentially reshape the dynamics of the NFL.
According to the Mail;
Skip Bayless has claimed Russell Wilson and wife Ciara were ‘humiliated’ by the Denver Broncos last season and believes his move to the Pittsburgh Steelers is ‘an all-time steal of a deal’.
The nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback has agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Steelers. He will receive the veteran’s minimum of $1.21million while the Broncos pay the remainder of his $39m salary.
Wilson was heading into free agency after a nightmare spell in Denver, that will go down as one of the worst trades in NFL history.
The Broncos signed the veteran quarterback to a five-year, $242.6m deal after acquiring him in a blockbuster trade from Seattle in 2022.
However, after two unsuccessful seasons, the team opted to move on from Wilson while taking an $85m hit in dead money with the release. His exit from Denver promoted wife Ciara to call Wilson ‘my greatest inspiration’.
Speaking on Undisputed, Bayless insisted Wilson’s arrival in Pittsburgh represents a huge coup for Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
He said: ‘This is an all-time steal of a deal. It only costs Pittsburgh $1.2m. The veteran minimum to get a quarterback, who’s been to nine Pro Bowls and two Super Bowls.
‘I’m gonna put in front of his age, 35. I’m gonna put an “only” 35 because in this age we live in, after what we saw Tom Brady do at 45… once upon a time, I would’ve said you’re on the downside. He could still be in his prime at age 35.
‘Russ went through a lot last year and I think he got humiliated by the benching. He is a star and he’s married to a star and he’s got star power.
‘Because of that, I think he’s gonna come into Pittsburgh with a little chip on his shoulder.’
What do you make of Skip Bayless’ spicy claims? From humiliation to a steal of a deal, the NFL drama keeps us hooked. It’s obvious Wilson and Ciara faced a wild ride while at Broncos. But hey, the Steelers might just be cooking up a recipe for success with this deal!
