Twitter reacts to Broncos releasing quarterback Russell Wilson

The Denver Broncos announced Monday that they plan to release quarterback Russell Wilson after the NFL’s new league year begins on March 13. Over the next two years, the Broncos will eat $85 million worth of “dead money” against the salary cap, marking the largest dead money hit for a single player in NFL history.

Here’s a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted to the news on Monday.

The Broncos will now search for Wilson’s replacement. Denver will likely look to the free agent market, and the team also holds the 12th overall pick in this year’s NFL draft. Expect the Broncos to add at least one QB to the roster this offseason.
