Russell Wilson says Broncos threatened to bench him if he did not alter contract

• Wilson demoted to backup with Broncos still in playoff hunt
• Quarterback says he was asked to change contract mid-season

As quarterback Russell Wilson explains it, his job was in jeopardy nearly two months ago and after the Denver Broncos' biggest win.

It was then, during the bye week following a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on 29 October, Wilson said he was facing an ultimatum from the team: Adjust his contract or risk being benched.
