Buy or sell: reports of Russell Wilson’s progress through camp have the QB set for redemption

Rarely in professional sports history has there been such hype surrounding a franchise player switching teams only for that player face plant in his first season than Russell Wilson with the Denver Broncos.

The Super Bowl-winning, multi-Pro Bowl QB was an elite signal caller for the Seattle Seahawks, but in his first year with his new team, he posted career lows across the board while his offense was a laughingstock on their way to a groan-worthy 5-12 record.

Since then, former incompetent head coach Nathaniel Hackett, who turned out to be as qualified to run an NFL team as a teenager playing Madden for the first time, is gone, and in his place is a Super Bowl-winning, top-tier coach in Sean Payton.
