Sharpe’s comments about the Broncos quarterback having a private office at the facility is gaining attention from NFL fans. Even Darius Butler from The Pat McAfee Show couldn’t believe his ears.

It’s evident Broncos fans are furious with the organization for how it has handled everything so far. The franchise gave up its future to acquire Russell Wilson. To be fair, the team was pegged as a possible Super Bowl contender when the trade was finalized. But it’s been a disaster ever since. With reports coming out that Wilson has his own private office and his teammates are allegedly upset with him, the fanbase seems fed up with the veteran quarterback.
@Broncos Russell Wilson doesn’t deserve his own personal office, he needs it taken away and he needs to earn it

The head coaching search is going to be interesting in Denver.
Nobody with any sense will want that job. Not unless the @Broncos get @DangeRussWilson to restructure his contract and get rid of his special treatment. A new coach can’t make Russell get rid of his entourage or his office, or any other special treatment under that contract as is

Broncos fans fear the worst for whoever becomes the next head coach.
Yes, Russell Wilson and that miserable front office deserve the blame. They are going to miss out on top tier coaches because knowone IMO will want that Job bc of Russ.

It will surely be interesting to see who the Broncos hire as head coach. Maybe the right guy can turn things around. Despite that, the organization could be in big trouble this offseason. Especially if Shannon Sharpe’s comments about the locker room are true. Maybe Russell Wilson will address these rumors himself, as that could possibly clear the air. Based on how the fanbase feels, it might be too late.
