Russell Wilson Expected To Be Cut In March

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson is expecting to be cut by the Broncos in March, according to league sources. Wilson has been starting for Denver for almost two months while knowing the organization would likely move on from him after this season. The team made it aware to Wilson's representation in late October that he would lose the starting job and be made inactive for the rest of the year if he didn't defer the injury guarantee of $37 million that he has for 2025. The 35-year-old had a nice bounce-back season in his second year in Denver in 2023, throwing for 3,070 yards, 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions, but it wasn't enough to lead the Broncos back to the postseason for the first time since the 2015 season. Jarrett Stidham will start in Weeks 17 and 18 against the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders, respectively.
