Russell Wilson's year with the Denver Broncos is not going as planned. The quarterback has struggled the entire season, with fans heavily disappointed by his lackluster performance. Wilson has been subjected to trolling for months, with his skills being questioned and the Broncos criticized for choosing him.
The recent cause for amusement, however, is a rather interesting photo of Wilson in his downtime. The QB is apparently gambling at a casino, looking particularly gloomy from afar.
Now, even if Wilson might not be sad in general, many noted that he looked glum while he gambled. Dressed in all black, Wilson had one hand propping up his cheek as he glances down at the table.

Fans had some interesting reactions, even bringing up Future
Now, some people have admitted that Wilson looked a little dejected, even connecting it to the Broncos. Some added that he was looking to get money from the casino, just like he is earning from the Broncos.
Of course, some fans wondered if the NFL star was just asleep.
Future, Ciara's ex, was also in conversation. Even after years of marriage, Ciara and Wilson are often linked to Future here and there. Some state that Future still bothers the couple, and might even bring up Ciara every now and then.
A few fans came to his defense, asking everyone to keep their criticism at bay. After all, everyone can have a bad day or two. Others noted that a sleepy, gambling Wilson might just be the most relatable content from the star they have seen.
Is Russell Wilson currently benched?
During the Broncos' 34-28 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, Wilson left the game due to a concussion. Ultimately, the loss also ousted the Broncos from the playoff contention this year, which wasn't too much of a surprise for fans.
However, Russell Wilson will not be playing against the Arizona Cardinals. He had passed the concussion protocol, but was still left out of the Cardinals game. This could be an additional precaution, or a new strategy the team is trying.
Considering the disappointing season for the team, they could be trying out new alternatives while Wilson rests.
That being said, the team has mostly given up on the season as they no longer have the playoffs to play for. Especially as more losses will grant them better draft picks.
Taking in the complicated situation of the Broncos, it might be some time before we see Russell Wilson play again.
