The NFL offseason is typically full of surprises, however, Monday's news that the Denver Broncos are moving on from Russell Wilson was something everyone who pays attention to the league knew was coming since December, when the Broncos benched Wilson.
That being said, what makes this situation somewhat unique is the Broncos gave the nine-time Pro Bowler a massive five-year, $245 million contract extension after trading for him during the 2022 offseason. According to Pro Football Talk, that means Denver will be on the hook for a $35.4 million cap hit in 2024 and $49.6 million in 2025.
