Denver Broncos Cut Ties with Quarterback Russell Wilson before Next Season

The Denver Broncos have surprised the NFL and announced on their social networks that quarterback Russell Wilson will not continue with the team, the information details that he will be cut when the next season begins.

“For the past two years, you have welcomed my family and me with open arms and embraced us as members of the Denver community,” Russell Wilson said in a statement.

The Denver franchise still owes Wilson $39 million in salary before his departure, but the big news for them is that they avoid guaranteeing $37 million in salary. He had signed a five-year contract extension worth $245 million last August.

“This place will always have a special place in my heart…Tough times don’t last, but tough people do. God has me. “I am excited for what is to come,” said Wilson.

The team acquired Russell Wilson in 2022 from the Seattle Seahawks for two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-round pick, quarterback Drew Lock, defensive tackle Shelby Harris and tight end Noah Fant.

The walk of the experienced 35-year-old quarterback was erratic and he did not show his best version. He remained 4-11 in his first season with 15 starts, achieving 16 touchdowns and 13 turnovers. Last year he went 7-8 and was ultimately benched for the team’s final two games. He totaled 6,594 passing yards with 42 touchdowns and suffered 19 interceptions.
