Russell Wilson Expected to be Cut from Denver Broncos

The team's handling of the situation could potentially affect their ability to attract free agents in the future.

  • Russell Wilson, the nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback, has been benched by the Denver Broncos and is expected to be cut from the team before March 17, 2024, when his $37 million salary for 2025 would become guaranteed.
  • Wilson has publicly stated that he would like to remain with the Broncos, but he admitted that he has considered the possibility he continues his career elsewhere.
  • The Broncos have four potential options for moving on from Wilson: releasing him before the fifth day of the new league year in mid-March, using a post-June 1 designation on Wilson's release, trading him, or reconciling their differences with Wilson.
  • The Broncos' handling of Wilson's benching could potentially affect their ability to attract free agents in the future, with reports suggesting they may need to overpay to secure talent.
  • Broncos head coach Sean Payton has been criticized for his handling of the situation, with some former players agreeing with the assessment that his behavior has been unacceptable.
