Had the Broncos beaten the hapless Patriots, Wilson probably would have kept his job but now the Broncos have the excuse for benching him, since he wouldnt restructure his contract to waive the injury guarantee-clauses. An issue that the players union got involved in.
If it werent for all the dead money issues that the Broncos would face by releasing Wilson, this team might make a run for Tom Brady but they now have to find a cheap stopgap in the meantime.
