Russell Wilson<\/a>\u00a0is brushing off his job demotion with a divine approach, and his wife,\u00a0<\/span>Ciara<\/a>, has his back.<\/span><\/p>\n The 35-year-old took to social media on Wednesday and reacted to the Denver Broncos benching him as the team’s starting quarterback in favor of backup Jarrett Stidham. The head-scratching move comes with just two games left in the regular season and the Broncos not yet eliminated from playoff contention, though <\/span>they only have a six percent chance<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In any event, Wilson tweeted to his more than 5.5 million X (formerly known as Twitter) followers, writing, “God’s got me. Looking forward to what’s next.” Ciara “liked” the tweet, and a bunch of Wilson’s fans tried their best to cheer him up with inspiring replies. One fan responded, “I’m sorry you going through this man.” Another fan added, “you are a true pro NFL player keeping your temper in check no matter the outcome during this NFL season with the broncos and Sean Payton as your head coach. God has a plan for you for the rest of your NFL career. Good luck with your new jersey in the NFL.”<\/span><\/p>\n Wilson’s benching comes after he signed a whopping five-year, $242.6 million contract with the Broncos in 2022. It’s been reported that Wilson expects the Broncos will release him in March, and should that happen the team will take a significant hit in 2024 in terms of their salary cap, given Wilson is guaranteed $39 million whether he’s with the team or not next year, <\/span>per ESPN<\/a>. So, it’s not all bad news, especially with a slew of teams who will be in search of a veteran quarterback next season.<\/span><\/p>\n Wilson’s benching comes just weeks after the “Goodies” singer <\/span>welcomed the couple’s third child with Wilson<\/a>, her fourth. Ahead of giving birth, Ciara spoke to ET at the <\/span>Color Purple<\/span><\/em> premiere in Los Angeles and <\/span>shared her thoughts<\/a> on the responsibility of parenthood, whether it’s her fourth or first child.<\/span><\/p>\n “The thing is — to me — when you bring a new life, it’s such a big responsibility. I already have three babies right now and they’re turnt,” she joked. “It’s like the Three Stooges, you never know what you’re going to get. Adding a fourth member in is like, ‘What’s that going to be like?'”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
