Russell Wilson

The Seattle Seahawks had quite a Tuesday, agreeing to trade franchise icon and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos for a ...

And what would you be willing to do to go from the latter group to the former? It all served as a vivid reminder that success (and failure) in the NFL is determined by quarterback play more than ever. Flashback to earlier in the day when it was revealed that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers had come to an accord that will keep the four-time Most Valuable Player in Green Bay, likely on a reworked contract that could make him the highest-paid player in the game.

The Seahawks have agreed to trade quarterback Russell Wilson to the Broncos in exchange for three players and multiple draft picks, sources told ESPN's Adam ...

Wilson, according to a source, always planned on revisiting his concerns after the 2021 season. That includes base salaries of $19 and $22 million, with $5 million March roster bonuses in each year making up the remainder. Wilson's trade comes 13 months after his frustrations with the organization bubbled to the surface. Wilson sensed he was going to have to move on, and if he did, he wanted to be going to a winning program. But in recent days, as trade talks with Seattle heated up, it became clear that Wilson was the Broncos' Plan A. The Broncos and Packers have not discussed a Rodgers trade this offseason. One league source estimated the total to be over a dozen teams.

Russell Wilson — unlike predecessors Case Keenum, Joe Flacco, and Teddy Bridgewater — won't be a short-term rental nor a veteran mercenary.

The club is financially able ($26 million in remaining cap space) to absorb an appropriate financial commitment that aligns with Wilson’s goal of playing deep into his late 30s. The nine-time Pro Bowler is scheduled to earn $19 million in base salary next season and $22 million in 2023, with $5 million roster bonuses pushing his cap hits to $24 million and $27 million, respectively. What happens next for the Broncos? Don't miss out on any news and analysis!

The Seahawks have decided to trade Russell Wilson while they can still get a good return. According to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN, Seattle is sending ...

Wilson led the Seattle Seahawks to back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, winning one, but had taken issue with being left out of personnel decisions.

With Wilson and his hefty contract heading to Denver, the Seahawks will now work on rebuilding what was one of the oldest rosters in the league last year. Wilson will be led by Coach Nathaniel Hackett, who was hired by the Broncos in January after working as an offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers for the past three seasons. The trade for Wilson was engineered by Broncos General Manager George Paton, and comes as the Denver franchise is set to be sold for the first time in nearly 40 years following the death of Pat Bowlen, the longtime team owner.

For all the ways you can make sense of this trade, there can't help but be trepidation at trading a sure-thing quarterback such as Russell Wilson, ...

They will commence some measure of a rebuild with a coach who will be 71 in September. Yet Aaron Rodgers agreeing to a massive new contract with the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, a few hours before the Wilson trade was announced, has obvious ramifications for Wilson. A franchise that under Carroll adopted the motto “always compete” has bet everything that this is a better path to success than the one they had with Russell Wilson, who won more games in his first 10 years than any quarterback in NFL history. You could call it the most shocking Seattle sports transaction since Ken Griffey Jr. was traded to the Reds in February 2000, yet that had been openly chronicled for months and was a foregone conclusion. And believe it or not, the one-time landmark deal Wilson signed in 2019, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history at $35 million annual value, is now looking like a relative bargain. That’s in part an indictment of Seattle’s poor drafting as well as what is shaping up increasingly as an ill-advised trade for Jamal Adams … but that’s where they were.

Russell Wilson was the best thing to happen to the Seahawks, and his impact in Seattle went beyond what he achieved on the football field.

The Seahawks have agreed in principle on a trade sending nine-time Pro Bowl QB Russell Wilson to the Broncos for a massive haul that includes multiple ...

The Broncos have improved their offensive line in recent seasons and have the building blocks of a potent offense. He started hot, then a finger injury caused him to miss the first games of his career, and he wasn't the same immediately after returning. But he caught fire again down the stretch, indicating the issues were related more to injury than any sort of decline.

In Russell Wilson, the Broncos landed their long-sought franchise quarterback after all – just not the one many expected.

... We know we need better play out of the quarterback position." "It's the most important position in sports. Seattle reached the postseason eight times under Wilson and only suffered a losing season in 2021, when the quarterback missed three games with a finger injury in a 7-10 campaign. Since Peyton Manning retired after the 2015 season, the Broncos have started 12 different players at quarterback. "I think it's always a priority," Paton said of the Broncos' quarterback situation. “It’s been the same every year we’ve been here so it’s the same as it’s been.

The Denver Broncos have traded for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, according to sources.

The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks have agreed to an absolutely massive blockbuster trade for Russell Wilson. Who is going to Seattle?

Russell Wilson is an MVP-caliber player who brings legitimacy to the Denver Broncos’ championship aspirations. By comparison to acquiring Russell Wilson, they are borderline negligible. To see Shelby Harris go might be the toughest of all.

Hours after the Packers reportedly brought back four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers, the Broncos stole the headlines with their reported blockbuster deal to acquire ...

Hanks (spoiler alert) does eventually get saved, so perhaps the movie’s ending represents the type of happy ending Denver is looking for. The trade won't be official until March 16, per Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, so a reference to perhaps the most famous on-screen Wilson will have to do for now. Thankfully for the real-life Wilson, there are no oceans or remote islands in Colorado, so he should be safe to stick around as long as he wants as the team aims to return to Super Bowl glory.

El quarterback de Seattle Seahawks, Russell Wilson, jugará ahora en Denver Broncos a cambio de par de jugadores y selecciones de NFL Draft; faltan pruebas ...

Con Wilson, los Broncos reciben a un jugador que es digno de suceder a Peyton Manning, quien se retiró hace seis años.

Wilson led the Seattle Seahawks to back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, winning once, but had taken issue with being left out of personnel decisions.

With Wilson and his hefty contract heading to Denver, the Seahawks will now work on rebuilding what was one of the oldest rosters in the league last year. Wilson will be led by Coach Nathaniel Hackett, who was hired by the Broncos in January after working as an offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers for the past three seasons. The trade for Wilson was engineered by Broncos General Manager George Paton, and comes as the Denver franchise is set to be sold for the first time in nearly 40 years following the death of Pat Bowlen, the longtime team owner.

El quarterback se había mostrado insatisfecho con la organización de Seattle, aunque en semanas recientes había manifestado un deseo de permanecer con los ...

Wilson se hizo a la idea de que cambiaría de equipo, y si era el caso, deseaba llegar a un programa ganador. Pero, en días recientes, conforme las charlas con Seattle comenzaron a intensificarse, quedó claro que Wilson era el Plan-A de los Broncos. Denver y Green Bay no discutieron un canje por Rodgers en el receso de campaña actual. Pero, nada específico en cuanto a eso". Ha sido lo mismo todos los años desde que he estado aquí. Así que, es lo mismo de siempre. Una fuente de la liga estimó que más de una docena de equipos mostraron interés por el quarterback. "No tenemos intenciones de hacer alguna movida aquí, pero las conversaciones, [el gerente general John Schneider] debe tomar esas.

ENGLEWOOD, Colorado, EE.UU. (AP) — Los Broncos de Denver han encontrado finalmente a un quarterback que luce como un digno sucesor de Peyton Manning.

The Seattle Seahawks made the extraordinary decision to trad legendary franchise quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos in exchange for multiple ...

The quarterback who usurped him as the league’s highest paid man was Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes might not even hold onto that distinction much longer given the Aaron Rodgers news, but you get the general idea. As far as “Mahomes money” goes, that decision is now passed onto the Denver Broncos, who surely acquired Wilson with the hope that he can help deliver (among other things) Denver’s first win over Kansas City since 2015. Mike Sando of The Athletic (and former Seahawks reporter) also revealed that part of why the Seahawks were willing to let Wilson go is an unwillingness to hand Wilson a mega-contract in his mid-30s.

The Denver Broncos have reportedly put three significant players and prized draft picks on the table in the trade for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell ...

Doug Kezirian reacts to Aaron Rodgers' decision to stay in Green Bay, the Broncos' blockbuster Russell Wilson trade and more in a wild Tuesday for the NFL.

The thought process is that Jacksonville's move to secure Robinson increases the likelihood that the Jaguars opt for an elite pass-rusher, like Hutchinson. Personally, the price of -250 is mysteriously high and just furthers what we already know. That move led to the odds of Michigan edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson being the top pick drastically shifting from +650 to -250. If that wasn't enough, oddsmakers had to track the uncertain and unpredictable NFL draft betting menu, which actually saw the day's largest odds shift.

Aaron Rodgers signed a four-year extension to stay in Green Bay, while the Seattle Seahawks agreed to trade Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos.

As much as people wonder how San Francisco could deal Garoppolo after the way he led this team -- while battling through injuries -- the reality is the 49ers are going to have no trouble finding a favorable deal for their quarterback. After nearly a year of so little movement on these investigations, Watson's civil deposition is scheduled for Friday, the same day the district attorney investigating Watson plans to present her case to a grand jury, which will decide if criminal charges will be brought against him. While Watson's legal troubles create a hurdle in that situation, the main knock on Garoppolo these days is a shoulder operation he underwent this week.

Russell Wilson being moved from the Seahawks to the Broncos has deep fantasy impacts for both sides -- and not all of them good.

The Packers will still have a strong two-headed backfield with Aaron Jones and A. J. Dillon. We’ll wait for other offseason moves before evaluating the rest of the offense, but this small collection is really the only way the Packers make an audible ping on our fantasy radar — at this point anyway. The Broncos have a young game-breaker at running back in Javonte Williams. The Seahawks had (and have) nothing to rival that. Which brings us to the Packers. This is the easy one, since there isn’t any significant movement. Though he is expected to boost the production of those around him, his personal fantasy value might not shift too dramatically. Simply put, the long-term plan surely isn’t for Lock to be locked in as the starter. He does get to keep Broncos teammate Noah Fant — the tight end was part of the trade.

Minus Wilson and Wagner, not a single player remains on the roster from Seattle's Super Bowl championship squad and the team looks poised for an extensive ...

The team appears to have at least a few decent options in that regard. Each player suited up for at least 151 regular season starts for the Seahawks and combined to play in all 16 games a total of 14 times. Dominating with sideline-to-sideline speed and top-notch instincts, he has surpassed 100 tackles in all 10 of his NFL seasons thus far and his 1,383 combined tackles sits more than 100 ahead of the next player (Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David) on the list. Coming off a disappointing last place finish in the NFC West a year ago, the Seahawks have their reasons for choosing to move on from both legends at this time. Over the next nine seasons, Wagner and Wilson would combine to earn 17 Pro Bowl selections and nine All-Pro selections while leading Seattle to 114 regular season victories and seven postseason appearances. Back in 2012, Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson joined the Seahawks as unheralded day two draft choices.

In a stunning move that sent shockwaves throughout the NFL, the Seahawks jettisoned star quarterback Russell Wilson on Tuesday, shipping the nine-time Pro ...

In the end, however, Carroll and Schneider simply didn't do a sufficient enough job building a championship-caliber roster around Wilson to get out of the stagnation the Seahawks have found themselves mired in. Eventually, likely spurred by seeing Tom Brady win a Super Bowl in his first year with the Buccaneers, Wilson broke typical character to an extent after the conclusion of the 2020 season. While Adams earned All-Pro honors that year, the trade proved to be the latest swing and miss for a front office that also shipped away first round picks to acquire receiver Percy Harvin and tight end Jimmy Graham with disappointing results. While the duo found stars such as receivers Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, they also botched numerous high picks in recent years, including selecting seldom-used defensive end L. J. Collier in the 2019 NFL Draft, which set the franchise back compared to other contenders. But starting in 2016, with a once-dominant defense aging and the organization as a whole continuing to reel after choking away a second Super Bowl victory in Arizona, Seattle entered a prolonged drought in regard to playoff success. Offseason after offseason, the team tried to operate cheaply as bargain hunters and more times than not, they would have been better off lighting money on fire.

With two years left on his current contract, it won't be long before Wilson and his agent will be pushing buttons for a massive extension.

For now, Wilson will earn $37 million in 2022 and his contract still remains in the top five for highest-paid players in the league. Then in 2018, Rodgers and the Packers agreed to terms on a four-year extension worth $134 million with nearly a $60 million signing bonus. On the other side of the coin, if the franchise sputters to another last place finish and misses the playoffs again, Seattle may officially enter all-out rebuild mode next offseason. If Seattle bounces back next season and returns to the playoffs behind a strong season from Wilson, both sides may want to re-up their commitment to one another. Two years later, Wilson came close to matching that contract from an annual salary standpoint by agreeing to terms with the Seahawks on a four-year, $87.5 million extension to become the second highest paid player in the sport. Though it ensures that a long-time rival in the NFC will remain a top Super Bowl contender for the foreseeable future, the news of Rodgers' massive extension doesn't impact the Seahawks directly.

The best players who might have been available to play in Philly sooner or later chose other places. Sigh.

The Eagles, meanwhile, ranked No. 4 in overall line play, according to profootballfocus.com. They haven’t been out of the top 10 since 2015, and they’ve averaged about a No. 5 ranking the past six seasons. Apologies for the poor pun, but when faced with the chance to upgrade from Jalen Hurts to Russell Wilson — no matter how slight the possibility — it’s painful to see the opportunity slip away. Further, Rodgers — as narcissistic and duplicitous a person as you’d ever want to meet — wouldn’t have subjected himself to the rigors of an East Coast media mob. Williams, 27, would have been the best healthy, low-mileage weapon, since Tampa Bay’s Chris Godwin is hurt, and Green Bay’s Devante Adams is entering his ninth season, and they got franchised, too. And so, on Tuesday, they reportedly agreed to an extension that will pay him $200 million over four years, $153 million of it guaranteed. It was a bruising combination: Within two hours, the Eagles’ three top possible targets all landed in other towns.

A seismic decision—and a major trade—shake pro football on an early March afternoon.

A Super Bowl winner, nine-time Pro Bowler and husband to superstar Ciara, Wilson presented the steak and the sizzle, an option not seen in a Washington ...

There's Houston's Deshaun Watson, a great player but one with a litany of legal and civil issues. On and off the field. It's easy to point the finger at ownership. Wilson basically chose to battle Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert year after year just to win an AFC West title, which could make for epic games but an uphill climb to a playoff spot. What makes matters worse is Wilson elected to go to Denver, a good team with a lot of young skill-position talent, but hardly an easy landing spot. Making matters worse for Commanders fans, Washington didn't put out a lowball offer.

The Seahawks dropped one of the biggest bombs in NFL history on Tuesday, trading Russell Wilson to the Broncos. The deal was met with heavy criticism, ...

As hard as it is to accept a breakup, the eventual acceptance and subsequent excitement of the unknown will come; and for the first time in half a decade, the Seahawks have begun to move. Whether they can do it again remains to be seen, but on a day with gloom and despair aplenty, finding a little hope in the future cannot be overvalued. Seattle is no longer stuck in the mud and that, at the very least, is an encouraging sign. Wilson's play shouldn't be overlooked as well, as he's largely been mediocre the past year-and-a-half, which may point to a decline in skills. You may choose to disagree, but the Seahawks have spent the last five years more or less parked in neutral. Knowing this isn't likely to ease the mind of most fans, but context is always important in trade discussions.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers missed out on the chance to add future Hall of Fame quarterback Russell Wilson. Here's what that means.

Maybe he’s good, maybe he’s terrible, but either way, the Bucs need to give him a chance to show it. There is simply no chance the Bucs are able to win a Super Bowl with Garoppolo as their starting QB, so there is no purpose spending the money on him that could otherwise be used to sign talented role players. Although just rumors this offseason, there was still the glimmer of hope in Bucs fans that a big-name quarterback such as Rodgers or Wilson would find their way to Tampa’s starting lineup, but that seems like it is completely out of the question now.

The Seahawks reportedly traded Wilson to the Broncos for a massive haul.

Getting cute with the news that you just dealt your Super Bowl-winning star quarterback to another team probably isn’t the best move. Teams are not allowed to say anything officially about the trade until March 16, hence the non-direct reference. After it was reported that Seattle sent Wilson to Denver in a massive trade, the Broncos had some fun and Tweeted a gif of the movie Cast Away featuring the main character’s best friend, Wilson, who is a volleyball.

Let's set aside our initial shock and break it all down. Here are our staff-grades for the blockbuster deal with Denver. Patrick Olde Loohuis. In a shocking ...

Only a trade of this magnitude seems a fitting goodbye for one of the greatest to wear a Seahawks uniform. Wilson is a part-owner of the Sounders and involved in just about everything the Emerald City has to offer. Plus, the Seahawks won’t have to sweat a new break-the-bank contract for Wilson when it’s time to re-up the quarterback once again. For a player of Wilson’s caliber, there was never going to be anything resembling equal value, but getting at least three or four first rounders for the best player in franchise history could have helped soften the blow to the 12’s. That would be difficult to stomach for the fanbase of any NFL team. However, this is a massive if – and the trade largely looks like a mixed bag as a result.

Russell Wilson traded to Broncos: Seahawks make blockbuster move to send Pro Bowl QB to Denver, per report.

Additionally, tight end Noah Fant is reportedly being sent to Seattle. While the other players involved still need to pass their physicals, Wilson has signed his no-trade clause provision, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, and passed his physical with the Broncos, so everything is official on his end. The era of Russell Wilson is over for the Seattle Seahawks. On Tuesday, the team agreed to trade Wilson to the Denver Broncos, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora confirms, after what is being reported as weeks of negotiations between the two sides.

Some Seattle Seahawks teammates reportedly felt quarterback Russell Wilson "checked out" during the 2021 NFL season.

It's unlikely he's the long-term solution. Clearly the Seahawks felt the situation was a detriment to the team because Wilson is under contract through 2023, so there wasn't any pressure from that perspective to move him. Mike Sando of The Athletic reported it was one of many issues that led to Wilson's trade to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, which they described as a "divorce in which both sides contributed to the dissolution:"
