The 35-year-old Russell Wilson is no longer one of the league's five or so best quarterbacks, but his team's failures in Denver have swung public opinion of him a bit too far in the other direction.

To that Travis added: ‘I think Russ has a lot of good football left in him,man. He’s got that ‘it’ factor about him that we’ve seen so many times, and sure enough he’ll bring some veteran presence to that locker room. His catchphrase ‘Broncos Country, Let’s Ride’ was roundly mocked as well.

But for Wilson, and by extension his wife Ciara, the scrutiny has dated back much longer.

During a 2015 bye week, Wilson and his-then girlfriend vacationed in Mexico, where they were photographed by paparazzi before the quarterback played poorly in a loss the following week vs. the Cardinals.
