Twitter reacts to Russell Wilson getting benched by the Broncos

This is not the way we pictured the Russell Wilson era ending in Denver. This morning ESPN reported that Broncos head coach Sean Payton is benching Wilson for the last two games of the season.

What we know now is that there’s no question who won the Russell Wilson trade, what we don’t know is what comes next for the guy that remains the greatest quarterback in franchise history.

Here’s how Seahawks fans, Broncos fans and fans around the NFL are reacting to the news of Russ getting demoted.
