Broncos Prepared to Move on from Russell Wilson
Despite Official Statements, Financial Implications and Benching Indicate a Likely Departure
- Denver Broncos signal readiness to move on from quarterback Russell Wilson, despite official statements suggesting the door remains open for his return.
- Wilson was benched for the final two games of his second season with the team, leading to speculation about his future.
- Wilson's refusal to adjust his contract, which includes a $37 million guarantee in 2025, has complicated matters.
- The Broncos could face $85 million in dead-money charges if they cut Wilson this offseason, but they appear prepared to handle this financial hit.
- Despite the financial implications, Broncos' decision will be driven by what's in the best interest of the team winning games.
