Broncos Decision On Russell Wilson Coming "Sooner Than Later"
Russell Wilson "sooner than later" as an important deadline related to his contract looms. The 35-year-old QB has a trigger in his contract that would guarantee his $37 million salary for 2025 if he's still on the roster on March 17. If the Broncos want to cut Wilson, they would be on the hook for $85 million in dead money as the result of future guarantees accelerating onto the 2024 salary cap. Denver could split the charges over two seasons via a post-June 1 release. The Broncos have the No. 12 pick in the upcoming NFL draft and could be looking for a new signal-caller after the team benched Wilson with two games left in 2023. Payton said the team is evaluating their QB options through a fresh lens and have yet to make any final decisions.
