ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos have made the decision to release quarterback Russell Wilson when the new league year begins next week. This move comes after Wilson's brief tenure with the team, which began when he was acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Seattle Seahawks earlier this offseason.
Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion, was expected to bring a new level of talent and leadership to the Broncos. However, the team's performance during the 2022 season fell short of expectations, leading to this decision to part ways with the star quarterback.
