Russell Wilson Expected to be Cut from Denver Broncos

The team's handling of the situation could potentially affect their ability to attract free agents in the future.

Russell Wilson, the nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback, has been benched by the Denver Broncos and is expected to be cut from the team before March 17, 2024, when his $37 million salary for 2025 would become guaranteed.
Wilson has publicly stated that he would like to remain with the Broncos, but he admitted that he has considered the possibility he continues his career elsewhere.
The Broncos have four potential options for moving on from Wilson: releasing him before the fifth day of the new league year in mid-March, using a post-June 1 designation on Wilson's release, trading him, or reconciling their differences with Wilson.
The Broncos' handling of Wilson's benching could potentially affect their ability to attract free agents in the future, with reports suggesting they may need to overpay to secure talent.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton has been criticized for his handling of the situation, with some former players agreeing with the assessment that his behavior has been unacceptable.
