Broncos release Wilson, absorb $85 million in dead money
The Denver Broncos informed nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson of their decision to release him after a tumultuous two-season run with the team. Wilson signed a five-year, $242.6 million deal with the Broncos two years ago but failed to lead the team to the playoffs. The Broncos will take an $85 million dead money hit over the next two seasons due to Wilson’s release. Wilson, 35, now enters the free agent market with hopes of winning two Super Bowls. The decision to release Wilson was a football one made by head coach Sean Payton and not influenced by financial conversations.
