After two years with the Broncos, Russell Wilson is leaving the Mile High City.

The 35-year-old quarterback was told by the team that he will be released when the 2024 league year begins next week. So which places are the most likely to be his next destination? Here’s what one sportsbook has to say.

The Steelers have the best odds at -200 — meaning a $200 bet would win $100 — to have Wilson take his first snap of the 2024 season in a Pittsburgh uniform, according to DraftKings Sportsbook on Tuesday morning.

The Raiders have the next best odds at +275, followed by the Falcons (+475), Patriots (+800) and Vikings (+950). The Buccaneers (+1,800), Commanders (+2,000), Titans (+3,000) and Giants (+3,000) are the only other teams to have 30-to-1 odds or better.

Before Monday’s announcement, the Broncos had +600 odds to retain Wilson.

DraftKings lists two other quarterbacks in its betting odds: Vikings’ Kirk Cousins and Bears’ Justin Fields. Cousins has +1,400 odds to take his first snap next season with the Broncos (Atlanta is favored at -225) and Fields has +1,400 to come to Denver (Atlanta is also favored at +110).
