When he was talking about the enemy of my enemy. All I could think about was that Ted scene where they’re yelling out the window and the third neighbor joins in. 😂
Who were they talking about??
I love that a HOF QB with a nine-figure net worth goes on national television with an audio setup much worse than the average Twitch streamer. God bless you Aaron- you're a head case, but you're our head case.
Yup and probably has a couple thousand dollars of wine behind him haha.
And it's so weird because he had good quality in other videos, how did it get soooo bad
@@firelordjay5640for some reason he chose to be in his wine cellar for this one that’s why the echo is crazy
Our headcase? Weirdo
he's in a wine cellar, of course there's going to be echo and feedback
use your headcase
Oh man i feel so bad for Russ, he didnt get injured and is gonna get paid something over 100 million for 2 years of bad qb play. Now hes gonna be forced to sign a contract and get paid another 50 mil so sad.
I swear I don’t know how he functions when his life is so damn hard
Good, you should feel bad Sean.
@@MyChannel-ol1zzlow IQ comment
He didn't play bad this year and Nathaniel Hackett was the worst coach of all time so Russ gets a pass.
He played quite well this year actually and where are you reading he’s signing a new contract worth 50 mil?
They gave him the contract they have to honor it period.
This ain't the MLB brother (and thank goodness for that -- fully guaranteed contracts make the sport worse for fans from a competition standpoint)
Sean Payton should've been asked to redo his contract after Miami put 70 on him.
@@arkwill14 no it doesn’t, lack of salary cap does
Previous ownership and previous coach gave him the contract. It’s a business and Russ isn’t worth that money
@@TheAutumnWind_RN4Lthat was months ago get over it. Payton took over a massive mess of a team. Including Wilson
For people saying he’s getting over 100 mil for average qb play so don’t feel bad for him: This isn’t about feeling bad for Russ. It’s about not threatening a qb that he’ll be benched UNLESS he changes his injury guarantee. Why do you think they ended up not benching him? cuz the NFLPA told them they’d get sued if they benched their qb for that reason.
not to mention when they approached him the team was bad because they had the 32nd ranked defense but Russ was averaging 278 YPG with 16 TDS to 4 INTS (best ratio in the NFL) THEY DID HIM DIRTY !
They didn’t bench him until way later in the season tho. This is non-story being pushed by Russ’ PR team.
@@send6praythe defensive ranking got fucked by the Dolphins game. The D isn’t actually that bad
I don't think anyone was threatened..
They gave him an ultimatum and he declined..
Definitely sounds like a PR move by Russ and his agent.
Here the thing , Denver did what they thought was best for the organization going forward.
Russ played well , but did he play up to the potential of the contract.. not really.
Born and bred Broncos fan. 100% agree. Russ got screwed. Ownership just told the rest of the talent in the NFL not to come to Denver.
It’s so hard being a bronco fan right now. This isn’t the organization we all grew up with and loved. They wear the bronco uniforms but they aren’t the Denver broncos
Amen brother. Not sure about this laundry anymore.
It's hard living in Denver with so many bronco's fans and media members with strong opinions that make no sense cause they're not based on facts or reality. Easily the least knowledgeable football fans of any NFL team, probably because no one here watched a cfb game for decades til deion arrived.
What future qb is going to want play for sean Payton,the broncos deserve everything happens
How many guys date girl even after finding out they didn't treat there x great? ALOT NOT MUCH DIFFERENT
@@joelrivard5598 If they found out that they blackmailed their x for money then im pretty sure that not many would date the girl again..
The one they draft.
Perhaps someone is pretty happy he did not move to Denver when people thought it'd make sense.
i dont think Rodgers would have to worry about being benched cause hes average at best and team wants the option to cut him in the offseason lol
Broncos country let’s cry
UNLIMITED tears
We riiide and we die together!!
Lool 😂
Sucks to see a once legendary franchise run into the ground.
@@Mikmatic_it hasn’t even been ten years wtf broncos will be in the post next year 😂 the daughters dug the franchise a whole Wal mart will dig em out
This is BS… no coach or organization should threaten any player for getting exactly what he deserves and shouldn’t be taken out of the game…. Sue them!
There wasn't a threat according to the nflpa last summer when the negotiations started.
Well they should be able to bench anyone they want
Very opinionated comment you got lol. Did the team get what they deserved from Russ? Can the team sue him for underperforming the last couple years?
I wish my job paid me twice what I deserve with years guaranteed in advance and when I don't perform as well as I'm paid to and they want their money back, I get to play the victim even though I'm 100% responsible for my mediocre play.
Aaron thinks he’s like this enlightened intellectually superior savant. Typical Berkeley alumn
Hmmmm another scandal from the head coach of bounty gate? Who would've thought. Payton is one of the greatest politicians in NFL history.
Scandal? The only scandal going on was Russ signing a contract bigger than Brady ever signed who actually won. Russ is playing like a 15m a year QB. Neither Payton nor the new owners made that deal.
@@dmcentYTthe Broncos never thought a reporter would ask about this much less Wilson actually answer in detail what’s going on because he never does that. Then they went on the offensive saying it wasn’t true and then the NFLPA letter gets leaked out. Payton saying he doesn’t know anything about Wilson’s contract is just another lie on the pile. They look like bumbling idiots
@@dmcentYT -- It is always weird to see fans support the billionaires over the millionaires. Fans always look at the millionaires' pockets while giving the billionaires a pass. Players should honor their contracts but billionaires should be able to break them.
The Broncos had every opportunity to study who Russ was and what he had left before they signed him. There had to be a reason Seattle was so willing to let him go while there was still some Prime left. Denver created the contract. Russ signed it. Same with the Browns. The Watson contract looks terrible and everyone called it terrible. That is the billionaire's fault. If they put a contract in front of you or I for millions although we have never played a down, would you sign it? I would and the results would be on the side that created the contract.
You may say these are new owners but if you know anything about football, franchise QBs can change a franchise's destiny. Who the QB is and the possibility of who the QB could be is a part of making a decision in buying a team. The Waltons knew who the QB was when they bought the team.
The NBA once blocked a CP3 to Laker deal because the Hornets were in the middle of being sold. A Hornets team without CP3 would have less value so they blocked the deal.
Billionaire mistake.
@@semi6544It’s because fans keep thinking “we” as if they are part owners of the team like that. They are suckered into thinking “we” not able to get talent because so and so overpaid. Player plays lights out paid 500k. I don’t make that money they should be grateful for opportunities and live up to their contracts they signed. But when things like this happens it’s all he’s overpaid rich millionaire stealing from poor billionaire overcharging you for tickets and concessions. It’s a business deal so it’s okay to break this contract. They are being smart.
😅😅@@semi6544
Not to mention that the Saints under Payton were trying to Injure Rodgers week 1 of 2011 in the bounty gate year.
The common enemy for both
oh I see I didn't connect that dot till I saw your comment.
Ball washing is an art.
Russ needs to pull up WCW Hulk Hogan style
Don't you mean Stone Cold style?!!
Imagine feeling bad for a guy who is getting paid 1/4 Billion dollars to play like ass and for 11-19 over 2 seasons. Yeah… sorry, not feeling bad for Russ being a fraud.
He has played fine this year.
You act like it's your money...
Aaron obviously isn’t gonna be objective about this given Sean told the truth about Hackett lmfao
You think payton is in the right here? Touch grass for once
And still lost to Hackett
Aaron doesn’t like people he can’t push around you think he’s going to like Payton lol. I like Rodgers but let’s face reality.
Must suck for Pat to have to juggle AR’s balls every week.
Don't you worry about "Patty".... He's made A LOT of $$$$$ over these last 5 years giving AR verbal "Hand-Jobs" on-air as the McAfee Show makes him wealthy......
So Russ has huge issues with the coach and GM in Seattle, tries to get them fired. Then this crap where his team leaks conversations between the NFLPA and the broncos. Sounds like a drama queen that nobody will take seriously anymore, good luck Russ. And Rodgers will do nothing next year. He guarantees a team 11 or 12 wins, but watch him go out the first round of the playoffs if hes healthy.
Ty always has the longest questions 😂
“That’s a great question”- slight sarcasm 😂
I am a player person. I like Russel Wilson and just like Arod said he is playing pretty good this year compared to last year under Sean Payton. I think they should keep Russel and and build more but that's just my opinion.
You haven't watched him play this year. He immediately checks down if the first option isn't there. Takes too many sacks. His production has gone from mostly broken plays. He's not the answer I'm Denver. Better to move on for both parties.
Hard to build with an aging QB with a massive contract
Denver doesn't have the cap to build a team with Russ that's why they benched him. He needs to take a pay cut so they can get some better players, but Russ won't do that he only cares about money and not winning.
@@EZeast1 That's a shame it really is. Qb's bc of TB are now allowed to play until 45 so if he is improving on a high salary and have a crap team bc of it. I guess it is his decision.
@@bryanhartline1696 Aging is sometimes like Flacco, It's like a fine wine. Except I think Flacco is more humble. lmao idk
Yeah Aaron is the guy to ask about this 😂 his superstar Hackett got his feelings hurt remember.
Ok - did Rogers forget to add "a decent microphone" to his Christmas wish list?
He spent all his money on the pretentious grape juice behind him
Brees carried Sean.
Yes, players carry coaches 🙂 thanks capt obvious
LMAO. payton went 7-0 with teddy bridgewater and taysom the same year brees was injured in 2020 until brees came back and got owned by brady. payton carried brees. he also went 4-0 with jameis in 2021 before jameis got hurt.
Unlike Brady vs Belichic, they were pretty even imo.
Brees was average in San Diego. He was even benched for Doug Flutie at one point lol
@@PoboyMusic Brees' arm actually got much stronger after his surgery and he just got better in NO at reading defenses. How he was in SD says nothing about his career.
Vegas should sign Wilson. He'd be perfect there
I think Ian Rapoport's article throws some serious questions in the mix.
they overpaid and are trying to recoup money, not a great look but def not the worst thing ever done.
Good on Rodgers for showing respect for Russ. I hope Russ balls out for his next team. Some cheap and tacky business tactics from the filthy rich Walton family.
They thought they could treat a professional athlete like a Walmart employee.
@@kwoylee5617exactly what it is lol
Do what we say contractually or we bench you? That’s not football and that’s not ok. You made a bad deal Denver, suck it up and pay the man like you signed and move on.
It’s hard to say whether this was a bad deal or was it made this year to look that way. Like Rodgers said this whole thing puts into question play calling, sheds light on sideline interactions etc. In other words was Wilson put in any situation to succeed or was he sabotaged? We’ll more than likely never know, nobody will admit this happened ever
so when players make bad deals they should have to play out their remaining contract and not get to renegotiate for more money just because they had a better year than expected.
@@userac-xpg yes. That’s how it generally works. Look at big names in sports. Scottie Pippen is one of the best examples. Signed a deal because he needed money but in the end if the owner doesn’t want to renegotiate they don’t have to.
now wilson can get $50 million a year from another team. highest paid qb $90 million a year ,for a year
Walmart buys a team and theres shock? that they dont want to pay there players
LOL
So he is getting benched because if he gets hurt they owe him 50 million, they said if you want to play get rid of that stipulation he obviously didn’t so yeah he is getting benched. Russ didn’t do a thing in 2 years with them what is everyone freaking out about.
Exactly idk why everyone is riding his Russ’ dick when those same people would NEVER want his contract on their team
That is why you stick to your price with little concessions. Move on Taylor Swift style…suing is only good for lawyers.
I don’t mind Aaron but goddamn he’s so damn long winded with every answer.
My thing is, I understand that Hackett is his buddy, but come on the guy has shown that he isn’t a good OC without Rodger’s. The whole “common enemy” things is pathetic
He’s like a prophet in the Bible, he’ll say a simple concept with 1 million words. 😂😂
@@jacobsims8307israel made nothing simple
@@parkerreidy1211 The "common enemy" thing is about players vs. management.
@@RT-qz5cileave politics out of football dude
Don't worry A-rod ya boi hackett should be getting the same treatment soon.
He had every chance for a revenge tour we he first arrived in Denver. You think he can muster one next year? No shot.
Fuggin wine celler studio AaRodge? 😂
Why is it sketch for a team that wants out of a contract? Pretty simple from a numbers perspective, sit him so he doesn't get hurt and can be cut, or renegotiate.
You must not be familiar with contract law…..
@@gblyndensrandomreviews I'm guessing you're referencing the renegotiating, which is fair. Doesn't change the fact that sitting him is then the only logical option if they want to move off him.
@@abefrohammer3105The black mail component is what you are missing. Had they not threatened him with the benching if he didn’t do what they wanted, that might be legit. The path those chose is not and will get them in trouble.
BCs "can't have it.... BAD" has me pissing. He cracks me up.
Aaron doesn’t know shot about what’s going in there Russ is butt hurt
They signed him to a crazy money deal make them pay
How about that $6,000 bottle of Scotch behind Mr. Rodgers!
Stuff like this is why the black Sox scandal happened the owner benched lefty Williams the final game for him to start to not a bonus to him is why they threw out the World Series
Everybody round of applause for Shawn Payton... Hip hip!.. Boo!
Yall hated russ, Rodgers, and peyton lol. Yall just miserable and bored
Russ is a great guy so it's a shame he has been treated this way. Aaron is also a great guy.
It's a great profession and a tough business!
Well said!
We knew this when he got benched 😂
I need people to seriously respond to this question. Who is this smug under achieving, teammate and organization alienating Wannabe…constantly talking on this show. Who the heck is Aaron Rodgers? Serious question? who is he to be talking about character? How did this relationship with Pat McAfee begin? Like, does this guy really think he’s Tom Brady or something? Who thinks that Aaron Rodgers is super deep and intellectual other than himself? Responses please and thank you. 👊🏾
Good for Russ. Stand or something or fall for everything.
Russ has been terrible as a Bronco. 11-19. 10 fumbles this season. He can't step into or throw in the pocket. He misses wide open receivers. He holds on to the ball way too long and is a sack magnet. 27th ranked offense. He's also 17-27 in his last 44 starts. He isn't good. If it wasn't for the defense and Courtland Sutton, denver might have only won a game or 2.
The defense that gave up 70 pts … lol ok
if denver had the worst defense instead of the 4th worst they mightve only won 1 game?
All these people are just glazing Russell's cheeks. With 10 fumbles and 8 interceptions. The dude had more turnovers than games played.
Aaron gets applause for answering the question he was asked lol
The applause was for not mentioning the Covid vaccine in his answer for once
@@billysummers1616Do yall even really watch his episodes😂😂
@firelordjay5640 no we have lives
Steal 37 million? Really? He has stolen 166 million guaranteed money from the organization for two years of subpar football. Poor guy
+ getting benched and still get the guaranteed money for this and next season.
Really poor guy ..... talking and bitching about the injury clause....
Poor Russ! He got rich ripping off the Broncos with his pathetic play and effort!
He got that quote from Dwight Schrute
Ayahuasca enthusiast 😂
If this goes through I can't see any players wanting to go and play for the broncos.
It’s one thing to approach a franchise QB/representation about his willingness to restructure a contract. It’s entirely a different matter to threaten retribution against anyone under contract, much less a franchise QB, if they’re not willing to take a pay cut or give up a contractual guarantee. That’s against the law. It falls under “bad faith” and intimidation, and it’s morally wrong, whether you like/support RW/his performance or not. If you expect or want to justify your stance based on RW’s performance, then find a way to agree on contractual language that reflects that, ie incentive based language. As the contract stands now, given the way the situation has been handled, RW has all of the legal and moral high ground so far. Coming from a Seattle sports fan who doesn’t hate RW, but I’m happy to see his career sour post-Seattle, considering the way things went down when he left.
I just hope people realize what a fraud and terrible coach Sean Payton is. The dude is awful, and yet for some reason, people act like he's good, news flash, he isn't.
Hope the NFLPA loves the Broncos tenderly for this.
nobody likes russ
@@sillygoose4263 wrong
@@Mikmatic_😂😂😂no nfl team wants russ and no player wants to be associated w russ womp womp
@@sillygoose4263this might be the silliest thing I’ve read all day
@@hiiipwrd4867 whats silly is how you think anybody likes russ 😂😂😂bro exposed himself without being carried by Seattle
They can ask and he can say no, they can also bench him, and cut him. There's no there there.
Denver has no one to blame but themselves. He had 2 two years left on his old contract when they traded for him. I dont get that they're screwing him out of money. They plan to let him go and dont want to be stuck paying him if he gets injured. Thats business and ive never seen a player returning money if je couldnt play. I bet Rogers got all his cash for his 4 plays this year
Behave like T.O., they got a problem behave like Russ its a problem too smh
Russ is extremely difficult and his teammates hate him and he’s tried getting coaches fired. Stop pretending like he’s a saint. He’s living behind a persona.
@@ishanray how you know
@@marcusmaxwell9487 how do I know that his teammates don’t like him? Have you not heard Marshawn, Sherman, and many others criticize him. There were reports out that he tried to get Pete and their GM fired for Sean Payton.
@@ishanray now what?
@@ishanray Only heard from Sherman. Lynch just said he didn't talk much. That's not enough to be led to believe everyone hates Russ.
I'm sure there are people you know that have gripes against you. You can't make everyone happy. And it doesn't mean you're a bad person because of it. Football fanatics like drama.
Sean Payton has been caught up in a lot of sleezy moments. This is no surprise.
Russ got overpaid and isn’t worth the money should he get his money YES, should he be starting for the broncos… NO!!
Is that legal with the cba?
Tighten up the questions Ty christ!
Anyone know the year of that macallan box in the background?
broncos country let’s ride🤷🏽♂️
Hate will conquer far move then love ever will.
Should have never been paid that ludicrous contract in the first place. Broncos are the real suckers. Just like The Browns and Watson.
Lets Ride lolol
Russ wouldnt take less to play so its wrong for them to not want to pay him to play a worthless season to save money he plays to make the most money they have a team and there job is to do whats best for there team 30 million dollar risk to a guy who isnt gonna win anything
Yeah, sure. Back at the bye Sean Payton had no idea and Russ didn't approach him about it. A naive coach is a prudent coach.
DISGUSTING. These are billionaires asking a player to save them a few millions. PAY THE MAN and let him play.
Russel Wilson does not fit Sean Payton . As a Saints fan I know Russ ain't got it..his style infuriates Payton .
Glad ESPN fired Clown-a Fee
Sean Payton is a tool
Everyone has been bashing Russ for the past 2 years and now everyone want to be team russ. Y’all Annoying 😂🤣 Team Payton 👏🏽👏🏽
He did the same to romo as a rookie
I hate to see what’s going on in the NFL right now. now more than ever there’s no loyalty by the owners for the players that they acquire then just discard like yesterday’s newspaper. They make deals with these players and their agents, then they want to renege on the deals when it suits them. Or just trade players away to some other team with no regard to how that’s going to affect their team’s performance going forward. On top of the NFL being fixed now it also kind of sucks. I’m sure Russell Wilson probably regrets even going to Denver now.
That Team3 PR got y’all going
steal 37 million? He had an injury clause he would have needed to get injured to get 37 million. The team had no chance for the post season it has a fair decision.
We should be real. Look at the ways that Australian rugby players have spoken about head coach eddie jones. I recently interviewed with him and it was clear his ego was more important than the actual result
The NFL is a business they are making a smart business move
Broncos country, lets ride out...to another team.
Sean Payton bas saying those numbers aren’t good enough for the price and attitude. Broncos will just have to eat the bill.
Y’all giving this narrative he wasn’t my guy like Sean Payton been coaching for a couple decades with 1 whole superbowl ring! Russ got one too and was one good defensive play from winning 2 in a row! It legit was hard to watch and I hope da NFLPA hold them responsible cause if they are allow to do dis will and can always come back to dis! Blackmail issa crime
That clap was super cringy
Well if that is how he saves face saying it is purely a contract restructuring issue, then so be it. He is a good average quarterback but his relationship skills are lacking just like Rodgers your pet you are in love with. Diva one and diva two. Of course your pet diva one will take diva two’s side.
Sean Payton should have banned from the league when that whole bounty crap happened.
No he wasn't. He was benched because he sucked. They approached him all the way back in October!Wilson is the new Kaepernick. Gets benched for being terrible and then makes every excuse in the book instead of accepting it.
I have a question for you guys. It's totally off subject. Eli Manning has 2 rings and probably will get into the HOF. Russell Wilson was a handoff away from having 2 rings. If he had 2 rings, is a HOF QB like ELI?
Wilson is definitely a better QB over the course of his career.
Why all these NFL teams don’t pay running back when they outperform their rookie contract because the team say play out your contract that they signed * cough Saquan Barkley. Why should Russ give up any money for the contract he signed!
This is literally happening all the time, when it happens to a mid qb who everyone says is washed hes suddenly a victim
None of this makes much sense, as per usual in the monopoly money NFL world. If the Bronco's are so worried about Russ getting $37 mil if he gets injured, then why have they been letting him play this season? If they benched him early in the season when they were horrible, the team probably wouldn't have won those 5 or 6 games on that run, and they would be in the top 5 or 6 teams drafting in 2024 and they could have a shot at a top QB in the draft. Or does Seattle own their #1 pick? I don't know. What I do know is that that team and Sean Payton don't look very good right now.
This guy hates Denver he’s hated them since the start of the year he hates Payton.
LETS GO JARRETT STIDHAM 🧡💙🔥🔥🔥 GO BRONCOS BABY 🔥🔥🔥
Don't worry he'll flop with Payton in his ear.
Prove it and take it to the NFLPA see how corrupt the owners are they are tanking for the draft defaming a damn good qb best season as broncs qb always team player NFL is a damn shame
Hey Lowkey villan Arch, Russ come down to NO play for the Saints and absolutely obliterate Sean Payton's Broncos using the team he abondoned for a chance with the Brady led Dolphins.
