- Quarterback’s career in Denver was brief and unsuccessful
- Wilson signed five-year, $242.6m extension in 2022
The Broncos have brought an early end to Russell Wilson’s expensive and unsuccessful time in Denver by announcing they will cut the quarterback from their roster.
“We spoke with Russell Wilson today to inform him of his release after the start of the league year [which starts next Wednesday]. On behalf of the Broncos, we thank Russell for his contributions and dedication to our team and community while wishing him the best as he continues his career,” Broncos general manager George Paton and coach Sean Payton said in a joint statement.
