The Broncos were and still are a QB and a coaching staff away from being good. They just didn't realize (what Seattle realized) was that Wilson was on the downward slope as well. But, one (well two with the coach) mistake that big can set a franchise back a decade. Might as well sell off what you can to start the rebuild before the players you have lose their value.

Patrick Mahomes is the oldest QB in the AFC playoffs.
Him and Josh Allen are the only 2 not on rookie deals.

I think Wilson was pretty clearly their plan B to Aaron Rodgers. And when that trade didn't materialize, they pivoted, and the result was was what we saw. I have no doubt that if their initial plan had worked out, and Rodgers was acquired, he would have had a better season than Wilson. Not necessarily because he's so much better, but because the Broncos had set the table for him specifically with the hiring of Hackett. The comfortability would have already been there.
To be clear, that's not the only reason why Wilson failed,not even the biggest reason, but I think it was A reason.
With the GM stepping away, better just to clean house. Plus it seemed like Murray and Kingsbury didn't have a great relationship, and the Cards have too much invested in Kyler to let that issues persist.
Texans firing Lovie Smith after 1 year is a bit of a head scratcher. Not sure there are many coaches out there that could have done significantly better with the roster there. Found out that Davis Mills is not a starting QB, went with a rookie RB most of the year, dealt with the drama of Brandin Cooks and didn't have much else at the WR position or TE for that matter either. That is a full on rebuild mode roster with little to no upper tier talent at most positions.
They've done it twice now. That organization is garbage.
He'll somehow be an Alabama consultant next year, then running a major program in two years.
$800 million.
That's what NFL teams are paying fired coaches and front office guys as of the middle of December. Just add this to the pile of money going up in smoke.

Rodgers is hot garbage. Last year at this time when asked about showing up to jell with the rookie receivers he said it was the coaching staffs responsibility to get them ready for him. This year he heading to OTAs.
Claims his non communication with the team was due to poor cell service.
Takes a final shot on the way out the door about playing for a team that has a chance to win it all finally.
Truth is the last couple years every deep ball he threw was fluttering.
Honestly even if it is a rebuild much like his first year starting i so glad to be rid of him. So much I may even root for the Patriots a couple times this season.
