The Denver Broncos will release Russell Wilson next week, just 18 months after signing him to a five-year, $242 million contract extension.

The Broncos still owe the Super Bowl-winning quarterback his $39 million salary for 2024 minus whatever deal he’d sign with another team.

His next contract would likely be the veteran’s minimum salary of $1.21 million. The Pittsburgh Steelers are one potential landing spot for Russell Wilson.

Denver will also take a record $89 million hit in dead cap charges for the next two seasons. Wilson enjoyed a cool year last season under head coach Sean Payton.

He threw for 26 TDs with eight interceptions in 15 games. However, it wasn’t good enough as Payton benched Russell Wilson for Jarrett Stidham for the last two games.

Stidham went 1-1 and the Denver Broncos finished the season with an 8-9 record. It became their seventh straight losing season and were out of playoffs for the eighth season in a row.

In 2022, Russell Wilson was acquired from the Seattle Seahawks, where he won a Super Bowl title in 2014.

The Broncos acquired him for a bevy of draft picks and players (Noah Frant, Drew Lock, and Shelby Harris).

He signed an almost quarter-billion dollar extension, then went 4-11 in his first season with coach Nathaniel Hackett. Hacket was fired after 15 games that year.
