The speculation comes as The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports the Broncos are prepared to release Wilson by March 2024. Denver has already benched Wilson for the final two games of the regular season.
“Russell Wilson is expecting to be cut by the Denver Broncos in March, per league sources,” Russini noted in a series of December 27 messages on X. “For almost two months, the quarterback has been starting knowing the organization was most likely going to move on him from after this season.
“Wilson will be able to go wherever he wants. And, yes, a team will have to want him. If he’s willing to do a one-year minimum deal and take the balance from the Broncos, that makes him much more attractive than he otherwise would be.”
“And why not the Seahawks? After taking two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-round pick, and three players, there’s a certain poetry in bringing Russ back for a one-year minimum deal with the Broncos paying the balance,” Florio wrote in a December 27, 2023 article tilted, “What’s Next for Russell Wilson?”. “Remember, Geno Smith’s contract can be torn up after 2023. If they can get Wilson for the league minimum, it becomes the kind of dollar-for-dollar deal that no team should ignore.
