The Great Denver Debacle: How Much Dough Do They Owe Wilson?
The Denver Broncos' gamble on Russell Wilson might go down in history as...well, let's just say it's not looking like the sequel to "Moneyball." They traded a haul of draft picks and then showered Wilson with a massive contract, only to cut him loose after a, uh, less-than-stellar season. But here's the kicker: Denver still has to pony up some serious cash for their ex-QB.

How Much Does Denver Have To Pay Wilson |
So, How Much is This Broken Heart Gonna Cost?
Brace yourselves, Broncos Country. We're talking about a whopping $39 million Denver needs to cough up for Wilson in the 2024 season. That's a hefty price tag for someone who won't be slinging passes in Mile High. Think of it as the world's most expensive "thanks, but no thanks" card.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Apparently There Always Is)
This $39 million is just the tip of the iceberg. Remember that massive contract we mentioned? Denver already paid Wilson a cool $85 million as part of a guaranteed payout. That's right, they basically paid him to go play elsewhere. Financial advisors across the country are cringing in unison.
Is There a Silver Lining in This Orange Cloud?
Well, there's always hope, right? On the bright side, at least this is the last year the Broncos have to pay Wilson. After 2024, they're free and clear (financially speaking, at least). They'll have a lot of cap space to work with, which might be enough to buy a whole new offensive line...or maybe a therapy session for the fanbase.
