Broncos to cut Wilson, take $85M dead money hit

Wilson's release will end a disappointing chapter for both sides. The Broncos went 11-19 in Wilson's starts over two seasons and failed to make the playoffs.

The Broncos signed Wilson to a five-year, $242.6 million deal after his arrival and will take an $85 million hit in dead money over the next two seasons because of the release.

  • So its official, Seattle orchestrated the biggest fleece jobs in sport history, bravo John Schneider, bravo.

    • I’d put down the Browns trade for Watson the same year as slightly worse.

      • Yeah, but the Browns KNEW they were getting an "alleged" sex offender. The Broncos thought they were getting a hall of famer in his prime, instead they got a washed QB and took a massive cap hit.

        • But the Browns guaranteed all the money, and Denver didn’t.
