Shortly after the news broke, Wilson posted a statement about his tenure with the Broncos and what’s next for him.
“Broncos Country, Thank You!” Wilson wrote. “Over these last two years, you have welcomed my family and me with open arms and have embraced us as members of the Denver community. This city will always hold a special place in my heart. Our family grew here, we made countless memories and friendships, and formed relationships that will last a lifetime.”
