“We Were Onto Something” – Broncos WR Questions Russell Wilson’s Exit Decision

The Denver Broncos bit the bullet and released superstar QB Russell Wilson from their roster. However, his exit might not go down well with the locker room. As wide receiver Courtland Sutton among many others bid their farewells to the legendary QB.

With head coach Sean Payton arriving at the Broncos last season, the expectations were over the roof. And Wilson was supposed to be the one to lead the Broncos to the Super Bowl. But that relationship broke down within a season, and now he’s gone, but his teammates are still behind him!

Russell Wilson leaves behind a ton of memories

Wilson arrived at the Broncos from the Seattle Seahawks in a blockbuster trade in 2022. However, his two seasons with the Colorado outfit did not pan out as he would’ve wanted. The troubles began during the last two games of the regular season when he was benched. Now the Broncos predictably cut him from the roster.

However, one of the star wide receivers on the team, Sutton is reminiscing about their days together. “We were onto something”, the WR wrote with a picture of him and Wilson on his Instagram story.
