According to the Denver Broncos, they will release veteran quarterback Russell Wilson at the start of the league year. This move has long been expected after the team benched him after this embarrassing Christmas Eve loss to the New England Patriots and now a decision has been made.
We’ve notified QB Russell Wilson that he will be released after the league year begins March 13.
