The Denver Broncos have permitted Russell Wilson to start talking to and meeting with potential suitors immediately, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Broncos already informed Wilson that they’ll be releasing him, though the move won’t be processed until the new league year begins on March 13. The veteran can now effectively start his free agency before his release becomes official.
Wilson’s departure costs Denver an NFL-record $85 million in dead money. The franchise will be on the hook for $39 million of Wilson’s salary for 2024.
