| 0:00.0 | So the Russell Wilson era is over in Denver. |
| 0:03.2 | He's released yesterday and |
| 0:06.1 | How many years that last two? |
| 0:08.2 | debacle of a move. |
| 0:09.3 | Yeah, he played two seasons in Denver. |
| 0:11.6 | The Broncos paid Russell Wilson over $120 million in cash for 30 regular |
