The Denver Broncos have managed to dig themselves out of the Russell Wilson fiasco, and they are now, arguably, the best team in the entire league. Just three short years ago, this team was underwater thanks to Wilson and former head coach, Nathaniel Hackett.
And now, there is a legitimate chance this team wins it all this year, which is quite something. One of the primary issues with cutting Russell Wilson, which happened after the 2024 NFL Season, was Denver taking on a dead cap hit of over $80 million.
This has obviously limited what Denver can do financially, but his contract is totally off the books following 2025, and the Broncos have structured their contracts in a smart way.
