Which NFL teams are best fit for Broncos’ Russell Wilson?

Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos appear headed for an offseason split. If the two sides indeed part ways — which is reportedly expected — which teams are the best fit for the 35-year-old quarterback?

Colin Cowherd explained which teams make sense and don’t make sense for Wilson on Thursday’s edition of “The Herd.”

Atlanta Falcons — Out

Colin’s thoughts: “They’re projected to have the No. 10 pick, so they’re gonna get a young, cheap quarterback for [head coach] Arthur Smith. They also have Taylor Heinicke under contract. My takeaway is get cheap at quarterback. Arthur Smith cannot inherit limitations on cap. I can build my offense … got a bunch of kid receivers and tight ends and backs, why not get another young guy to grow with them?” 

Chicago Bears — Out

Colin’s thoughts: “They got the No. 1 pick. There’s better quarterbacks out there. Caleb Williams has a much higher ceiling, so does Drake Maye. And the truth is, a new coach is not gonna want to inherit an issue.”

Las Vegas Raiders — Out

Colin’s thoughts: “I think they got to go get a quarterback. Russell’s already in the division. They’ve seen Russell Wilson. My takeaway is [head coach] Antonio Pierce has probably seen the film of him, they know him well, I doubt he’s going ‘Wow, get me that!’ What he’s worried about is Herbert and Mahomes. Plus, they got to get somebody that works with Davante Adams, who is very outspoken. If that thing went sideways, Davante Adams would call out Russ in a second.”

Minnesota Vikings — Out

Colin’s thoughts: “Kirk’s loved in the building, and his numbers were fantastic before the injury. I look at this, and I say to myself ‘if you’re going to go older, expensive quarterback, what about the guy everybody likes in the building? Why go outside the building?’ Everybody likes Kirk. People may have limitations, but everybody likes Kirk. Russell’s had three different coaches bail on him. If you’re going to have an older quarterback, why not the guy everybody…
