Wow.
Come on. Y'all Russell Wilson home,
very exciting.
You know, once we knew that Russell could be available. He
was our number-one Target. He was our priority
through for the offseason.
We're going to do anything it took to get rust
in here for one reason
and that's to win.
That's what I believe in.
So, every day you what you're going to get from me.
Is that mentality
going to get that juice? You're going to get that energy and
get that focus. And we're going to do it together all the guys
back there. To do it together. That's what it takes.
But we're here for one thing
and still win. It's the win at the highest level often, and
I'm excited about it. I'm excited about the journey and
Broncos country. That's right.
There it is. It's low price
now. It's let's ride. Let's ride.
I think it's let's ride. That could be go Bronx. Okay, let's
ride. Let's ride the Bronco. Yes, ride the bronco
riding the Bronco baby.
So
Russell Wilson. Now, a Bronco and they made it clear
yesterday. Well, I don't know if they made it clear all over
the convinced anyone. But they're trying finally said,
publicly, what they've been saying, privately for the past
week and a half that Russell Wilson.
Was their top Target
in free agency. And look, when you consider
that, as we've said, Aaron Rodgers is in the year to year
phase of his career Russell Wilson. Clearly has a lot left
in the tank.
You want an answer,
not just for one or two years. I might Rogers goes to
the Broncos in the Super Bowl this year. He eventually says, I'm
out. I'm done. Right, right. See you later. Go
back to Brock Osweiler. Yeah, right. I know. And I don't
believe them. I still think Rogers was the first choice.
I don't believe them. But But
you know like we discussed last week. Yeah, I think it's kind
of a blessing in disguise because you do you got
something to build off of here instead of yes, Aaron Rodgers 0
wins the Super Bowl in year, one or your to
and then decides to walk away. Or
you know just goes, hey, it's been good for these two years.
I'm out of here. You're right back in the same spot. So
Russell Wilson
with what one more year left on his contract, what they traded
for him. They're going to sign him to a long-term deal. We've
talked about, they got a young back, some young receivers.
They got something. They Really grow together and build
something.
That's why I love the Russell Wilson
trade for the Broncos.
And if there was any doubt, here's Russell Wilson, talking
about his intended timeline for the balance of his career, plus
the objectives that he has for the number of championships who
eventually
be securing.
My goal is to play 10 and 12 more years and hopefully when
three to four more Super Bowls, yeah, that's that's the plan.
So,
that's the mindset.
That's why I came here to hopefully better finish my
career here and so finish on top as a champion, you know,
and, and, and do it multiple times.
I would just focus on one
for now. Yeah, don't be the Chiefs right in the aftermath
of the Chiefs. Don't start piling up super but no no no
LeBron. Let's just one.
I want to. I it's been a long time. It's been nine years
since I've held that Lombardi trophy. I want to get
the Broncos back into that kind of a place. Don't start saying
three or four
and it was three when he was with Seattle. Now, it's three
or four pretty soon is going to be five or six and I have no
problem with having
high expectations. I have no
Problem with that, no problem. But but let's just focus on
the next one. That's what Tom Brady. I said, what's your
favorite Championship? The next one? Just focus on the next one
and we'll see where it goes. The better news for
the Broncos, Chris 10 to 12 more years
for Russell Wilson, right? That puts him into his 40s.
And that means that for the next decade, they've solved
their quarterback issue as long as his body holds up. That's
right. And they got a chance to have that here with Russell
Wilson and he's one of those guys again. I don't know if I'm
going to
say, he's T be 12, but he's TB 12 ish
I think with His psycho - as far as how he worked, he takes
care of his body. I mean, the damn guy, built a football
field in his backyard. Okay, that's all you gotta know about
Russell Wilson,
There is a freaking football field in his backyard.
And I think I even heard there's a football field in his
vacation house, backyard. If I remember correctly from what
people have told me. So that's
he's obsessed with his craft. He does have incredible self
belief and that belief filters through it. Organization.
Again, Russell Wilson's. One of those guys, when he's on your
team and you walk in the field, you just
go, but we got a chance to win the day. Three is playing
quarterback. So I love it. I really do. I'm excited to see
it and see what he can bring to the table there. And you know,
what else I love.
I love, Nate hack it to
just there are, you know, get I'm enjoying some of the,
the refreshing new head coaches in football who aren't cookie
cutter and think they got to act him coming up bacon, you
know, Russell Wilson him. You could tell he's excited. He's
a fan of himself. He loves this sport.
I think there's a cool new energy there in Denver that I'm
that I'm, you know, kind of can't wait to see.
It was 10 years ago this month. Yeah
that Peyton Manning was introduced
as the new quarterback
of the Denver Broncos, and it just dawned on me and I checked
the birthdays just to be sure.
Peyton Manning was 35
at the time that happened. Russell Wilson is 33.
And you would never think that they were basically the same
age. Well, you're right, they arrived in Denver, right? You
felt like Peyton was on his last leg like, damn. He's
he's limping into the finish line here.
It's where you kind of felt like her and you didn't know
what he was going to be. And of course, he was awesome that,
you know, his first few years there and setting records. But,
yes, there is a totally different
perception around this. And,
and again, we've discussed with Russell Wilson as great as he
is,
you know, we do, I think we both noticed and, you know,
I know I said it and you've I think notice it as well where
he's not quite as elusive in as fast as we used to see. He's
not there's a little bit more of playing with in the pocket
and doing that which you know speaks to.
Yes. He's getting up there in age a little bit, but he's
going to do everything to fight, you know, Father Time.
Certainly. I do trust that and Russell Wilson.
