A former Denver Broncos offensive lineman made headlines last week after changing teams during NFL free agency.
Following two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, Elijah Wilkinson signed with the Arizona Cardinals, a club he previously played for in 2023. After returning to the Cards, Wilkinson lashed out at the Falcons on Instagram.
“Good luck with that clown show over there,” Wilkinson said in since-deleted comments, responding to Atlanta fans who criticised his performance. In another comment, he told a Falcons fan to “have fun being [expletive] next year.”
Wilkinson, 31, spent the first four years of his career with the Broncos from 2017-2020 as a swing guard/tackle. He dressed for 45 games in Denver, earning 26 starts. The 31-year-old lineman has 62 career starts on his resume.
Elsewhere on the ex-Broncos front, offensive lineman Austin Schlottmann signed with the Tennessee Titans, receiver/returner Kalif Raymond joined the Chicago Bears, punter Sam Martin re-signed with the Carolina Panthers, punter Corliss Waitman signed with the San Francisco 49ers and long snapper Jacob Bobenmoyer tried out for the Miami Dolphins.
