Head coach Sean Payton decided to use Jarrett Stidham at quarterback instead of Russell Wilson in the last two games of the regular season. In addition to the sporting achievements (the last two games with Russell Wilson under center were lost), financial considerations also play a role in the decision.
Change in Denver: Broncos’ HC Sean Payton has informed his team that Jarrett Stidham will start Sunday vs. the Chargers, with Russell Wilson as the backup, per sources.

If Wilson fails a medical next March, he will be guaranteed a $37 million bonus as part of his contract. Even if Wilson’s departure is not yet a done deal, the franchise at least seems to be creating financial freedom to bring Wilson’s era in Denver to an end sooner than expected.
