Russell Wilson's time as the quarterback for the Denver Broncos has come to an end, as the team announced they are cutting him. The decision, while surprising given Wilson's impressive career, was somewhat expected due to his recent performance and an unfavorable contract. Head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton expressed gratitude for Wilson's contributions, and the release will be official when the new NFL year starts on March 13.
Wilson, in response, thanked the Broncos and their fans for their support, expressing gratitude for the memories and relationships formed during his two years in Colorado. The quarterback remains optimistic about his future, with speculation about potential landing spots, including Pittsburgh, New England, or Atlanta. Wilson concluded his statement with a positive outlook, stating, "Tough times don't last, but tough people do. God's got me. I am excited for what's next."
