Wilson's release will end a disappointing chapter for both sides. The Broncos went 11-19 in Wilson's starts over two seasons and failed to make the playoffs.

The Broncos signed Wilson to a five-year, $242.6 million deal after his arrival and will take an $85 million hit in dead money over the next two seasons because of the release.

I’d put down the Browns trade for Watson the same year as slightly worse.

Yeah, but the Browns KNEW they were getting an "alleged" sex offender. The Broncos thought they were getting a hall of famer in his prime, instead they got a washed QB and took a massive cap hit.

But the Browns guaranteed all the money, and Denver didn’t.
