Dallas Cowboys ideal Russell Wilson landing spots after release from Denver Broncos
After 158 starts across ten seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, Russell Wilson lasted just two 30 games across two years with the Denver Broncos. We may not know who Sean Payton wants as his quarterback in 2024, but we know it won’t be Wilson.

While the Broncos may not want the former Super Bowl winner, others will now that he’s been released. Here are five teams Wilson could join this offseason.
While the Las Vegas Raiders would like to add a young quarterback in the first round, they’re also sitting at pick No. 13, with several other QB-needy teams ahead of them in the draft order.
If the Raiders get the sense that trading up for a top quarterback is too expensive, perhaps signing a motivated Russell Wilson is the better option for 2024. Not only will he be eager to show the Denver Broncos why they made a mistake by benching and moving on from Wilson, but he also buys the Raiders time if they want to keep evaluating Aidan O’Connell, too.
The Atlanta Falcons hoped Desmond Ridder would wow them when surrounded by explosive talents such as Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson. It didn’t work, and now they find themselves with another top-ten pick, but not quite close enough for one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL Draft
If the Falcons want to continue developing their third-round QB, signing a seasoned veteran like Russell Wilson could be the way to go. Instead of going through the typical growing pains associated with developing another young rookie, Wilson could get this Falcons team ready to compete for the NFC South right away in 2024.
