The Denver Broncos have released quarterback Russell Wilson, ending a much-hyped but ultimately bitterly disappointing two-year stretch with the team.
In a statement released on Monday, the Broncos said they have informed Wilson he will be released when the new league year begins on March 13.
Head coach Sean Payton told reporters on Feb. 27 at the NFL scouting combine that a decision on Wilson's future with the team would come "within the next two weeks."
The Broncos went all-in on Wilson in March 2022, trading a host of players and picks to the Seattle Seahawks and signing the nine-time Pro Bowler to a five-year, $242.
