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.

Footage shows large Florida gator trying ‘to climb up a house’

A home security camera has captured nighttime footage showing an alligator attempting to climb the outside wall of a Florida residence.

A security camera on Monday captured nighttime footage showing a large alligator attempting to climb the outside wall of a Florida residence.

Matt Devitt, chief meteorologist at WINK News, stated via X that the attempted break-in by the ‘huge Florida gator’ occurred in Babcock Ranch.

“That’s a new one!” Devitt observed.

 

The footage was credited to a WINK viewer named Kayla.

Devitt receives plenty of gator footage from viewers.

A haunting image he showcased last February showed a massive alligator sprawled on a golf course, gazing toward the photographer in what Devitt described as a “Jurassic’ moment.

In March Devitt shared footage of a large alligator tearing through a metal fence to with astonishing ease, although it was later revealed that the fencing was aluminum.

“Only in Florida,” Devitt wrote.

It’s not surprising that alligators occasionally generate headlines in Florida.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) states on its website that about 1.3 million alligators reside in the state, and that they inhabit all 67 counties.

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.

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.

Russell Wilson sets record for most expensive home purchase in Denver area

Broncos QB Russell Wilson recently paid $25 million for a Cherry Hills Village mansion, the most ever paid for a Denver area home.

Denver Broncos star Russell Wilson has a new home.

The quarterback recently purchased a $25 million home in Cherry Hills Village, according to a report from Lily O’Neill of BusinessDen.com.

Wilson has now set the record for the most expensive residential property purchase in the Denver area. His new four-bedroom, 12-bathroom home sits on a 5.34-acre lot and includes a pool and nine-car garage.

Wilson would be able to pay for all of his new home and still have $3 million leftover if he’s able to sell his Seattle house at the $28 million listed price. Wilson’s new Cherry Hills home is nearly twice the size as his previous house in Seattle (20,060 vs. 11,104 square feet).

It seems that Wilson’s house in San Diego is his primary home. The quarterback has hosted at least a dozen teammates at his California mansion for unofficial practices this offseason.

Wilson’s Colorado home doesn’t have a mini football field like his house in San Diego, but there is a big backyard with the potential to be converted.

Broncos QB Russell Wilson is selling his house in Seattle

Russell Wilson’s house in Seattle was worth an estimated $6.7 million when he bought it in 2015. He now has it listed for $28 million.

Goodbye Seattle, hello Denver.

Russell Wilson has officially listed his Seattle house for sale. He’s asking for $28 million.

The house was worth an estimated $6.7 million when Wilson bought it in 2015. That’s when he received a $31.7 million payout from the Seahawks after signing an extension, according to Over The Cap.

While Wilson’s asking for $28 million, Redfin estimated it was worth $16 million last month. But, as investors know, you never go broke taking a profit. How much Wilson nets from “flipping” his Seattle remains to be seen.

For now, the QB’s worried about building chemistry with his new teammates at his San Diego home. The list of players Wilson hosted this spring includes WR Courtland Sutton, WR Tim Patrick, WR KJ Hamler, WR Kendall Hinton, TE Albert Okwuegbunam, TE/FB Andrew Beck, QB Brett Rypien, QB Josh Johnson, C Lloyd Cushenberry, LT Garett Bolles, CB K’Waun Williams and Jerry Jeudy.

Don’t worry, Seattle; Wilson’s in good hands with Broncos Country.

Check out a tour of Wilson’s Seattle house below.

Phillip Lindsay hasn’t actually moved out of his parents’ home yet

Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay plans to move out of his parents’ home but he hasn’t found a new place to live yet.

Last week, Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that he is moving out of his parents’ home.

Lindsay signed with Denver as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Colorado last year and he didn’t get his own apartment in part to save money.

“I was able to save some money for me to be able to get a place and also help myself out after getting a place,” Lindsay told Rapoport. “I just think it was the right choice to do right now.”

Lindsay said Wednesday that he hasn’t actually moved out yet.

“Right now, I’m looking around and shopping around stuff, so we’ll see how that goes,” the running back said.

So he’s going to move out, but he’s not actively moving out at the moment. Perhaps the move will take place at the end of the season.

Lindsay is on pace to gain 1,322 yards from scrimmage in 2019.
