Troubling report emerges about Russell Wilson’s free agency

Russell Wilson will not officially be released by the Denver Broncos until the start of the new league year on March 13, but the team has permitted him to meet with other teams while he is still technically under contract. 

It does not sound like that has been very beneficial to Wilson thus far, however.

Teams that need a quarterback this offseason have not yet expressed interest in Wilson, according to James Palmer of NFL Network. The reporter said multiple teams told him they do not view Wilson as an option at the moment.

“I spoke to multiple quarterback-needy teams today and all of them told me right now, guys, that Russell Wilson is not an option in terms of the things they’re looking at to fill their opening,” Palmer said. “Now, yes, free agency hasn’t started. There’s still time for quarterbacks to change teams and that market to fall. There’s still the draft and that market to fall and who winds up with a quarterback and who doesn’t. There’s still time. But as of right now, when I spoke to multiple teams that need a quarterback in this offseason, Russell Wilson is not one of the options that they are looking at.”
