Our family grew here, we made countless memories and friendships, and formed relationships that will last a lifetime," Wilson posted on X. "To my teammates, thank you for going to battle together and for being there through it all. There are so many moments I cherish because of you and I am blessed for the impact you have made on my life. I am beyond grateful for all of you and to have been able to run out as your teammate wan an honor."

The Broncos released a statement upon Wilson’s release.

Wilson’s dismissal from Denver became imminent after the Broncos benched him for the final two games of the 2023 regular season for Jarrett Stidham.
