Broncos Plan to Move on from Russell Wilson Despite Financial Implications

Potential trade strategies explored to mitigate costs, with several teams named as possible destinations for the quarterback.

The Denver Broncos are reportedly planning to move on from quarterback Russell Wilson, despite owing him $39M guaranteed in 2024.
The Broncos may be able to mitigate some of the financial impact by offering a trade to prospective teams, with draft compensation potentially included.
Wilson has a no-trade clause in his contract and little incentive to waive it, as he could choose his next team once he becomes a free agent.
The Atlanta Falcons, Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Pittsburgh Steelers are potential landing spots for Wilson, according to league executives.
Wilson was benched for the final two games of the season, and the Broncos threatened to bench him earlier in the year if he didn't defer an injury guarantee.
