Broncos Trade Agreement
After weeks of negotiations concerning one of the biggest trades in NFL history, the Denver Broncos have agreed to send a significant package of players and draft picks to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson.
The Broncos have agreed to trade quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks (2022 -- No. 9 overall -- and 2023), two second-round picks (2022 -- No. 40 overall -- and 2023) and a 2022 fifth-round selection to the Seahawks for Wilson and a 2022 fourth-round pick.
The trade gives Denver the quarterback they have wanted ever since Peyton Manning retired, and it gives Seattle a foundation to rebuild without the quarterback who had led the Seahawks to their only Super Bowl title.
The Broncos have used 11 different starting quarterbacks since Peyton Manning retired before the 2016 season, tied for the most in the NFL over that span.
Wilson agreed to waive his no-trade provision and passed his Broncos' physical on Tuesday night. These moves clear the way for the Seahawks to send him to Denver, ending his historic 10-season run in Seattle that included nine Pro Bowl selections, one Super Bowl title and more wins than any quarterback posted during his first 10 seasons in the league.
