The Russell Wilson era with the Denver Broncos is set to come to an unceremonious end after the franchise announced Tuesday that it plans to release the quarterback on March 13 when the new NFL league year starts. Naturally, plenty of fans and pundits in the NFL world had a lot to say, but one Broncos legend took the opportunity to kick the signal-caller while he was down.
“Russell Wilson isn’t a leader,” former Broncos linebacker Karl Mecklenburg said on X (formerly Twitter). “The foolishness that went on in his first year at Denver with a private coach, his own office at the facility, and family at training camp when other players didn’t have those privileges, proved his self centeredness.”
