The Denver Broncos acquired Russell Wilson in a mountain-moving trade that ended in only two seasons of work for Wilson as quarterback. On Monday, the team notified Russ that he will not play for Denver next season.
As part of the move, the Broncos set the record for the most dead cap space associated with one player. They doubled the previous number.
We’ve notified QB Russell Wilson that he will be released after the league year begins March 13.
