As he did after he was benched this past season, Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson said he still hopes he can finish his career in Denver, but added, «You also want to be [in] a place that wants you, too.'' Wilson's latest comments came as part of a wide-ranging, 84-minute interview with former Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall on the »I Am Athlete" podcast posted Sunday night.
Wilson addressed the uncertainty about his immediate NFL future as well as his desire to win two more Super Bowls during his career. «I've got more fire than ever, honestly, especially over the past two years of what I've gone through,'' Wilson said when Marshall asked about the 35-year-old quarterback's desire. „Whether it's in Denver or somewhere else, I hope it's in Denver, I hope I get to finish there.
I committed there, I wanted to be there. I want to be there.“ He added: „For me, it's about winning — over the next two years, I want to win two [Super Bowls], I want to feel the chill of that trophy again.
I love the city and everything else, but you also want to be [in] a place that wants you, too. The thing I want to do is to win, that's all I care about.“ Asked where he would play in 2024 if it isn't in Denver, Wilson responded: „Honestly, I haven't thought about it.“ Marshall then read to Wilson the odds on him playing for a variety of teams next season, and the quarterback responded: „Well, I'm going to put Denver 1, because I'm there right now, but I think you have to have the ability to compartmentalize that.
