Broncos Quarterback Russell Wilson recently shared in an interview that he is more determined than ever and is focused on winning, whether it’s in Denver or another team. As part of a wide-ranging interview with former Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall on the “I Am Athlete” podcast, Wilson addressed the uncertainty about his immediate NFL future as well as his desire to win two more Super Bowls during his career.
“I’ve got more fire than ever, honestly, especially over the past two years of what I’ve gone through,” Wilson said when Marshall asked about his desire. “Whether it’s in Denver or somewhere else, I hope it’s in Denver, I hope I get to finish there. I committed there, I wanted to be there. I want to be there.”
He added: “For me, it’s about winning — over the next two years, I want to win two [Super Bowls], I want to feel the chill of that trophy again. I love the city and everything else, but you also want to be [in] a place that wants you, too. The thing I want to do is to win, that’s all I care about.”
Wilson also addressed the possibility of playing for another team in 2024 if it isn’t in Denver, to which he responded: “Honestly, I haven’t thought about it.”
He further stated that he would put Denver as his top choice for the next season, but emphasized that it’s important to be non-emotional about it and focus on what can be controlled. “If it’s not [in Denver], though, I’ve got to go to a place where we can win again.”
Wilson’s comments come after Broncos coach Sean Payton announced that Wilson would be benched in favor of Jarrett Stidham for the team’s recent games. Despite this, Wilson remains hopeful about his future in Denver, expressing his desire to win more championships with the team. However, the situation has led to widespread speculation around the league that the Broncos will release Wilson in the weeks to come and open up the quarterback job just two years after acquiring him.
Despite the uncertainty, Wilson remains focused on his goal of winning two more Super Bowls in the next five years. He has also expressed his commitment to Denver and his desire to play through injuries to achieve his long-term goals.
Wilson’s comments reflect his determination to succeed and his unwavering focus on achieving his goals, regardless of the challenges he may face.
