🚨🏈 The Denver Broncos released quarterback Russell Wilson on Monday, according to multiple league sources, ending his tenure with the team only two years after its blockbuster trade to acquire him.
The timing of Wilson’s release was partially dictated by a trigger in his contract that guaranteed his $37 million salary for 2025 if he was still on the roster on March 17.
In cutting Wilson, the Broncos are on the hook for $85 million in dead money as the result of future guarantees accelerating onto the 2024 cap. The team could split those charges over two seasons via a post-June 1 release designation.
