Russell Wilson is apparently dealing with baggage from both of his career divorces.
The soon-to-be free agent quarterback and his wife Ciara are trying to sell their $25 million Denver mansion after Wilson was cut by the Broncos on Monday, according to The Daily Mail.
Separately, the couple has yet to sell their other home in Washington, which hit the market for $36 million in the spring of 2022 — around the time Seattle traded Wilson to Denver in a blockbuster five-year, $242.6 million deal in March.
Wilson and Ciara’s property in Bellevue, a city across Lake Washington from Seattle, reportedly decreased to $26 million and is still on the market.
The Seattle residence sits on 1.89 acres and has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
Last month, BusinessDen reported that Wilson and Ciara were accepting offers, and providing tours to prospective buyers for their mansion in Cherry Hills Village — which became the most expensive home ever sold in the Denver area when the couple paid $25 million for it in April 2022.
The 20,000-square-foot Denver property sits on five acres has four bedrooms and 12 bathrooms — and features his-and-hers walk-in closets, offices and bathroom suites, according to a previous listing of the property.
The home also includes a 2,590-square-foot indoor swimming pool, a basketball court and a guest apartment with its own kitchen.
It’s unclear where Wilson will take his talents after the two-season experiment with Denver didn’t go as planned.
The Broncos will take on $85 million in dead cap charges over the next two years — the largest dead cap hit in league history — and the Wilson deal will go down as one of the worst.
Denver sent a haul to the Seahawks: five draft picks, including two first-rounders, and three players, for Wilson’s services after the quarterback forced his way out of Seattle, where he spent the first 10 seasons of his career.
The veteran quarterback failed to end the Broncos’ postseason drought they’ve been in since 2015, and was benched the final two games of the season after his relationship with first-year Broncos head coach Sean Payton deteriorated.
Wilson said he’s “excited for what’s next” in a farewell letter to Denver, which thanked his teammates and fans in the Mile High City.
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that the Broncos have “no issues” with Wilson talking with prospective teams immediately.
The NFL free agency signing period coincides with the start of the new league year, which begins on March 13 after 4 p.m. ET, and the legal tampering begins on Monday.
