Russell Wilson trade

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.

The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks agreed on a blockbuster trade for quarterback Russell Wilson. Here is a timeline of events.

Reports around Russell Wilson and his relation with the Seattle Seahawks were merely ‘strained’ and no real word that Wilson was on the trade block ever leaked fully. Denver’s fortunes for the 2022 season instantly changed from bleak to Super Bowl aspirations. Early Tuesday morning on March 8, 2022, the NFL world received news that Aaron Rodgers would be going back to the Green Bay Packers and receiving a mega contract extension.

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.

Howie Roseman tried to get the one that got away.

The Seahawks are likely sending him to the AFC anyway. And that the Eagles actually even beat the Broncos comfortably in Denver last year. We all know how the self-proclaimed “QB Factory” highly values the position. The reality is that Russ found their situation more attractive ... despite the fact that Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Derek Carr are also in his new division. You know, despite the fact the Eagles have a better record than the Broncos over the past two years. - It’s a little funny to me how everyone likes to talk about how the Eagles are “too far away” to acquire a veteran quarterback such as Russ yet it seems like the consensus views Denver as a more understandable destination.

Like any seismic move, there were clear winners and losers from the Seahawks' decision to trade Russell Wilson to the Broncos.

He still is one of the top signal-callers in the league and gives Denver a chance to level the playing field with its division rivals. The Bucs, Saints and Commanders have a question mark at quarterback. The hiring of Josh McDaniels should help Carr elevate his game even further. The legendary quarterback claimed all year that he was being canceled for his vaccination views. Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford have won Super Bowls. Dak Prescott is 1-3 in his postseason career while Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray both have made just one playoff start and were unimpressive on the big stage. There will be no division gimmes. The Seahawks' first-round picks since 2011 (that weren't traded away) are James Carpenter, Bruce Irvin, Germain Ifedi, Rashaad Penny, L.J. Collier and Jordyn Brooks. Yeeeeeesh. The NFC got weaker with Wilson's exit and the race for the No. 6 and No. 7 seed should be a bloodbath of mediocrity. Yes, Seattle got two first-round picks and two second-round picks. The Detroit Lions, New York Giants, Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons are unlikely to factor into the playoff conversation. hold on ... I'm being told the Seahawks' draft record has left a lot to be desired over the past few seasons. Wilson's move to Denver, which will be completed when the new league year begins, signals the dawn of a new era in the NFC and AFC West.
