Russell Wilson appears to take another step toward leaving Broncos

The Broncos have left the door open to quarterback Russell Wilson potentially returning to Denver for the 2024 season, but all signs point toward an exit.

According to Thomas Gounley of Denver business website BusinessDen, Wilson and his wife Ciara have put their Cherry Hills, Colorado, home on the market. They are accepting offers and providing tours for potential buyers.

Wilson and Ciara paid $25 million for the home in April 2022, making it the most expensive home ever sold in the Denver area. No information was available regarding what the couple might seek for the property.

No final decision has been made on Wilson’s future, but the writing is on the wall. Broncos coach Sean Payton recently said the team has not started evaluating the quarterback position. However, after Wilson accused the Broncos of threatening to bench him if he refused to renegotiate his contract, there is probably no coming back.

Wilson’s contract will be a problem as Denver tries to move on from him, as they would have to eat a lot of dead money to cut him. At least among oddsmakers, one team is considered a strong contender for his services.
