Russell Wilson Stands By 'Classless' Tweet, Says Sean Payton's Remarks Crossed a Line

The podcast explanation revisits a season-old slight ahead of his free agency.

Overview

  • On Bussin' With The Boys, Wilson explained why he fired back at Sean Payton, saying he felt disrespected and asserting, “just don’t disrespect me.”
  • He was responding to Payton’s October 2025 comment hoping the Giants’ quarterback change would have come after Denver’s game, which Wilson interpreted as a dig.
  • Wilson’s post on X called Payton “classless” and referenced the Saints bounty scandal, while Payton later said he intended to praise rookie Jaxson Dart rather than slight Wilson.
  • Wilson also revisited the end of his Denver tenure, saying the Broncos asked him to remove injury guarantees from his contract and calling the request “BS.”
  • With the new league year approaching, Wilson is set to hit free agency after a Giants season that included a benching for Dart and follows his Denver release.
