Russell Wilson’s future with the Broncos is very much in the air after he was benched following Denver’s Week 16 loss to the Patriots. The team has a strong shot at keeping the quarterback next year, according to one sportsbook, but it isn’t Denver that has the best odds.

The Broncos have +350 odds — meaning a $100 bet would win $350 — to be the team Wilson takes his first snap within the 2024 regular season, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Denver has the second-best odds, as of Monday night.

The favorite is Pittsburgh, which has +100 odds after releasing Mitch Trubisky on Monday. Following the Broncos are the Falcons (+450), Patriots (+450), Raiders (+650) and Vikings (+1,000). Wilson’s former team, the Seahawks, is tied for the ninth-best odds at +3,500.

As for a potential quarterback replacement in Denver, DraftKings gives the Broncos the fifth-best odds to land the Bears’ Justin Fields at +1,200. The Steelers are also the favorites here at +100, followed by the Bears (+150), Falcons (+550) and Patriots (+650).

Denver has the seventh-best odds to land Minnesota’s Kirk Cousins at +2,500. The Vikings are the favorites at -200, followed by the Falcons (+300), Patriots (+500) and Raiders (+800).
