Russell Wilson apparently admits that he needs major fixing
On The Herd, Colin Cowherd reported that Russell Wilson contacted Sean Payton and made some huge concessions about his game toward him. In what could be a massive step forward for the team, Russell Wilson apparently admitted to Sean Payton through communication that he does indeed need fixing.
Colin Cowherd reported this on his show on Thursday. The snippet starts at about the 8:00 mark in the video:
Cowherd goes on:
"“He wants Sean Payton. He needs fixing. He knows he needs fixing.”"
Colin Cowherd also noted that Russell Wilson apparently contacted Payton through legal channels, I assume to avoid any tampering violations. To me, this is a huge step forward for the Broncos as a franchise.
We do know now that Payton has expressed interest in the Denver job and would be willing to work with Wilson. I do wonder if Payton himself has warmed up to the idea of working with the Super Bowl-winning quarterback because of his admittance that his game needs fixing.
Sean Payton has an incredible head coaching résumé that spans nearly two decades. He constantly crafted elite offenses that ranked at or very near the top of the NFL.
He’s also won over 60% of his regular season games and does also have a winning record in the postseason. There may not be someone of Payton’s pedigree available as head coach in the near or far future for the Denver Broncos, so it’s imperative that they close the deal.
The momentum seems to be shifting towards Payton ending up as the next head coach of the Denver Broncos, which would be great to see.
More importantly, Russell Wilson apparently admitting that he has flaws in his game that need fixing could be him finally setting the bit of ego he had and wanting to be better for the sake of the team and not just constantly project an image of greatness.
