Welcome to your Thursday edition of the Morning After Huddle! Broncos Country, let’s ride!
Here’s what you need to know:
- First up, prepare for more cheesy dad-level jokes and puns because Broncos Quarterback Russell Wilson is here to stay. The new Quarterback is landing himself a sweet extension contract of $245 million with $165 fully guaranteed. This new deal is five months of hard work in the making. This makes Wilson the second highest paid Quarterback in the NFL (in terms of new money) with $49 million. Oh, Mr. Wilson!
- Moving right along, Commanders Running Back Brian Robinson is starting the year on the reserve/non football injury list. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, this relieves pressure on Robinson to rush back to the field. Robinson was recently involved in a shooting in a carjacking attempt, suffering wounds to his lower extremities.
