According to Spotrac, he is making $825,000 on a one-year deal this season.<\/p>\n<p>The Broncos were the source of frustration for the Manning brothers in their Monday night Week 1 loss to the Seahawks.  Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett made the mystifying decision to attempt a 64-yard field goal instead of letting Wilson and the offense go for it on fourth-and-5 in the final minute of the game.<\/p>\n<p>As time ticked off the clock, Peyton furiously signaled for a timeout that was not taken until the final seconds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"666\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/russell_wilson2-1.jpg?resize=666%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Russell Wilson during the Broncos' win over the 49ers.\" class=\"wp-image-24017985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/russell_wilson2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1332 1332w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/russell_wilson2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=999 999w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/russell_wilson2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=666 666w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/russell_wilson2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=333 333w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/russell_wilson2-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Russell Wilson during the Broncos&#8217; win over the 49ers.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Broncos have won two straight since that loss to the Seahawks, but the sloppy nature of those victories has continued to raise questions about Wilson and the team.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russell Wilson is not faring well on the \u201cManning-cast\u201d this season.
