The Broncos released Russell Wilson after a disastrous trade, creating intrigue for his next NFL team. Wilson's huge contract led to the worst trade in NFL history but also highlights potential upside. Despite initial optimism, the Broncos drastically overpaid for Wilson, leading to a record-breaking dead cap hit in 2024. The only benefit from the trade was the public fallout with Broncos coach Sean Payton.

Wilson's contract, though excessive, could make him an interesting veteran option in the league. Looking to rebound from his internal issues in Seattle, Wilson may seek a new opportunity with a more team-friendly deal. This move could initiate a trend for quarterbacks seeking a second chance at glory later in their careers.
