Ex-Broncos QB Russell Wilson sells Denver-area home at $3.5 million loss

Russell Wilson paid a record price to purchase a Cherry Hills mansion in 2022, and he took a loss to sell it on his way out of town.

Although the Denver Broncos didn’t save any money by releasing ex-quarterback Russell Wilson, they may take a little satisfaction in that Wilson took at least one more loss on his way out of town.

Wilson sold his Cherry Hills home at a $3.5 million loss on March 20, according to Kourtney Geers of the Denver Business Journal. While the quarterback lost money, it was still a huge sale of $21.5 million, according to property records.

Wilson likely won’t lose any sleep over the sale given that he will have earned about $85 million from his two years with the Broncos.

Wilson bought his infamous 12-bathroom, four-bedroom, 20,060-square-foot house for a Denver-area record $25 million when he was brought in from Seattle to become the starting quarterback for the Broncos in 2022.

Wilson’s extravagant taste in real estate did not exactly translate to his play on the field. In his first season, it took until Week 15 for Wilson to throw for more than 12 touchdowns. Although his productivity spiked under head coach Sean Payton, Wilson was benched for the final two games of the 2023 season, then released this spring.

Wilson, now a clear-cut starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers, will still get a significant payday from Denver in 2024, but the QB’s time in Colorado has officially come to an end.

Wilson ends his Broncos tenure with fewer wins (11) than bathrooms (12) in the home he sold at a loss.

Broncos QB Russell Wilson listening to offers for Colorado home

Broncos QB Russell Wilson is listening to offers and “providing tours to prospective buyers” for his mansion in Cherry Hills Village.

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, Ciara, have been listening to offers and “providing tours to prospective buyers” for their mansion in Cherry Hills Village, according to Thomas Gounley of BusinessDen.com.

Wilson purchased the home for $25 million in 2022, setting a record for the most expensive residential property purchase in the Denver area. The four-bedroom, 12-bathroom home sits on a 5.34-acre lot and includes a pool and nine-car garage.

Wilson also owns a primary home in the San Diego area. That’s where he has lived during the offseason dating back to his time with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Broncos have insisted that Wilson staying with the team remains a possibility, but actions speak louder than words. Wilson listening to offers for his Colorado property seemingly confirms previous reports that the quarterback expects to be released by the team in March.

Wilson’s salary for the 2025 season will become guaranteed on March 17 if he’s still on the roster, so Denver will likely make a decision by that deadline. Speaking at the Super Bowl last week, Broncos coach Sean Payton said the team will make a decision on Wilson’s future “sooner than later.”

Wilson seems to think the decision has already been made.

LOOK: Alabama HC Nick Saban purchases new beachfront home in Florida

Nick Saban purchases a staggering $17.5 million beachfront home

Despite being 71 years old, Alabama head football coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] doesn’t plan on stepping down anytime soon. In fact, this offseason Saban doubled down on that by telling five-star recruit Ryan Williams that “he plans to coach until he croaks.” With seven national championships to his name and some historical recruiting classes as of late, Saban is at the top of his game and it doesn’t seem like he will be leaving.

Unfortunately, there will eventually be a day when Saban finally steps away, but he has made sure that when he does step into retirement, he will enjoy every minute of it. Saban is currently under contract with the University of Alabama through the 2029 season on an eight-year deal that will pay him $90 million throughout its entirety.

Recently, Coach Saban decided to treat himself to a brand new $17.5 million beachfront home in Jupiter, Florida. Jupiter is the home to many great golfers and has one of the greatest golf scenes in the world, Saban is a known avid lover of the sport. He will now be neighbors with guys like Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas and Gary Player, which I am sure helped finalize his decision on the new home.

The beachfront property is gorgeous as it features six bedrooms and five bathrooms at over 6,200 square feet. It will also come with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, a private garden, a dock, a boat lift and so much more.

Cheers to Nick Saban for living his best life!

3 quirks of Chiefs’ 2023 NFL schedule

Our @goldmctNFL explores three quirks of the #Chiefs’ 2023 schedule:

Each year the NFL’s schedule is wholly unique, which is part of what makes the reveal such a big spectacle.

For the Kansas City Chiefs, fans have become accustomed to them playing a tougher schedule with the team constantly finishing as its division winner. Still, there are always a few quirks each year that separate their schedule and make it unique from each year prior.

Here’s a quick look at three of those quirks from the Chiefs’ 2023 schedule:

Chiefs announce single-game tickets for 2023 NFL season go on sale Friday

With the 2023 NFL schedule reveal coming on Thursday, the #Chiefs have announced that single-game tickets will go on sale on Friday morning.

Kansas City Chiefs fans who aren’t season ticket holders will soon be able to purchase tickets for games at Arrowhead Stadium in 2023.

With the NFL’s 2023 schedule reveal slated for the evening of Thursday, May 11, the Chiefs will open single-game and group ticket sales for home games on Friday, May 13.

The general public can purchase tickets at www.chiefs.com beginning at 11:00 a.m. CT on Friday. As usual, there will be an exclusive online presale beginning Friday at 8:00 a.m. CT for Jackson County taxpayers. Season Ticket Members will also have an exclusive online presale beginning on Friday at 10 a.m. CT.

There will be no walk-up sales for tickets again this year, with the team going all-mobile for their tickets and parking passes. Also, if you plan to go to all of the Chiefs’ home games it pays to purchase your full-season parking passes in advance.

The complete 2023 schedule will be revealed on the team’s official Twitter, Instagram and Facebook channels at 7:00 p.m. CT on Thursday. The entire 2023 NFL schedule will be announced on NFL Network and NFL.com simultaneously. Mitch Holthus and Matt McMullen will release a special edition of their “Defending the Kingdom” podcast with a breakdown of the entire 2023 Chiefs schedule.

We’ll be tracking all leaks and schedule reveals on Chiefs Wire leading up to the official announcement.

Sean Payton buys Denver-area home for $4.5 million

Broncos coach Sean Payton bought a Denver-area home for $4.5 million in March.

Sean Payton is looking to make Denver his home for the foreseeable future.

Payton recently locked up a home in the area for $4.5 million, according to a report from Sara B. Hansen of BusinessDen.com (via The Denver Post, subscription required). 

Payton purchased a four-bedroom, six-bathroom house in the Belcaro neighborhood on March 6. The 6,000-square-foot home includes an oversized kitchen island, a fireplace in the primary suite and an elevator.

Payton apparently got a bit of a discount because the home was originally listed for $4.6 million.

Payton signed a five-year contract with the Broncos earlier this year, replacing Nathaniel Hackett, who was fired with two games remaining last season. Payton’s five-year deal is “in the neighborhood” of $18 million per season, according to Peter King of NBC Sports.

Even with a large contract, this was a big purchase for Payton. Fans in Denver will hope the Broncos return to their winning ways over the next five years with Payton. If they do, perhaps his tenure in Denver will go beyond five seasons.

Chiefs’ 2023 home and away opponents set

The #Chiefs’ opponents for the 2023 NFL season are now set. Here’s a look at who they’ll face next year:

With the 2022 regular season campaign coming to an end, the Kansas City Chiefs’ home and away opponents for the 2023 NFL season have been finalized.

The 2023 NFL schedule won’t officially be revealed until sometime in April, so we don’t have all the details on dates and times yet. However, now that the winners of various divisions have been determined, the Chiefs’ opponents for next year are officially set in stone.

Take a look at those opponents and our reaction down below:

Ex-Broncos OLB Von Miller sold his Colorado home last month

Von Miller sold his Colorado home for $3.7 million.

And just like that, Von Miller’s time as a Denver Bronco is truly now just a memory.

Miller sold his Foxfield home for $3.7 million last month, according to a report from The Denver Post.  The sprawling estate has 10 bathrooms, nine bedrooms, and a steam room, among other lavish amenities. Yes, Broncos fans, that’s right — even Miller has more bathrooms in his former house than current Denver quarterback Russell Wilson has touchdown passes in 2022!
Miller won the MVP award of Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos, and he was a part of the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl squad in 2021.

In the 2021 offseason, Miller signed a six-year deal with the Buffalo Bills worth up to $120 million. Miller totaled 21 tackles, eight sacks and one forced fumble with the Bills this year before suffering a season-ending ACL injury.

The lucky buyer of Miller’s home, according to property records, is Oluwole Jolaoso. Miller’s home originally went to market with a $4.125 million price tag in May.

Aqib Talib reacts to Von Miller putting his Colorado home up for sale

Aqib Talib had a similar reaction as Broncos fans when Von Miller put his Colorado home up for sale.

The 2015 Denver Broncos season is remembered as Peyton Manning’s swan song season, but the true gem of that Super Bowl-winning team was the defense. Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib and Co. were No. 1 in the NFL in total defense that season.

Talib, who was a member of the famed “No Fly Zone” secondary, would also lead the NFL in passing defense. A top defense of that caliber requires special chemistry, bond, and culture to go along with talent.

So when Miller put his Colorado house up for sale, the former star cornerback understandably had a melancholy reaction.

Miller was a cornerstone for the Broncos since 2011 and was traded to the Los Angeles Rams mid-season in 2021. Miller’s time with the Rams was parlayed into a second ring for the future Hall of Famer which additionally garnered him a massive, six year, $120-million contract with the Buffalo Bills this offseason.

With Miller on the East Coast, it made sense for him not to need the Foxfield mansion. However, the memories he and Aqib made in the orange and blue will never go away.

Ex-Broncos OLB Von Miller is selling his Colorado home

The end of an era: Von Miller is selling his Colorado home.

It finally happened. For many Denver Broncos fans, it is the end of an era. It’s hard to believe. Von Miller is leaving Colorado. For a cool $4.125 million, you can own the former linebacker’s Colorado estate.

Before a trade to the Los Angeles Rams in the middle of the 2021 season, Miller was the face of the Broncos. Over 100 sacks, two Super Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl MVP later, Miller was a mainstay in the Colorado community. As an example, Miller’s groundbreaking charity, Von’s Vision Foundation continues to help Colorado children get affordable glasses.

After winning the Super Bowl with the Rams, Miller went on to sign with the Buffalo Bills with a six-year, $120 million deal.

Miller’s 17,148 square foot, 4.28-acre fortress of a home in Foxfield, Colorado is a sight to behold. In the home, there are four full baths, 11 partial bathrooms and nine bedrooms.

Take a look at some of the gorgeous features, which includes a massive basement bar and a 1,500-square-foot closet.

We’ll miss you, Von. It has been a hell of a ride.
