Just a reminder that Seattle traded with the Broncos....not the Jete.Seattle completely fleeced the most pathetic organization in football with a washed Russel Wilson.
And they gave up two firsts, two seconds, and a fifth for that. There hasn’t been a decision this bad since Hitler decided to try to take Stalingrad for name value alone.Wilson's dead cap hits for this season and the following 2; $107M, $85M and $50M.
Every penny of it guaranteed, he isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Elway is lucky that they haven’t crucified him and left his corpse to decay at that weird ass airport as a reminder to all what happens when you ruin a franchise that badly for the next half decade.
He was the President of Football Operations converting over to a Consultant role when the trade happened. It had to have had his blessing.George Paton was the GM that traded for Wilson and gave up the extension with $165M in guarantees
I'm all for pissing on Elway but he was removed as GM in 2020.

He was still the President of Football Operations and a consultant for Paton. He was also reportedly involved in a group seeking to buy the organization when it was up for sale. Believing that Elway didn’t know about the deal until after the fact is folly. That’s just not the way the business works. Also remember that Elway had the chance to draft Wilson in 2012, and drafted Osweiler instead.Pretty clear at the time that Elway's position was more or less in an 'emeritus' role. I don't dispute it probably had his endorsement, the same way my wife's decisions have mine...after they are made.
Paton was given full rein on personnel when he was hired in 2020, it was his trade and he is fully responsible for the preposterous guarantees in that foolish contract.
Bet you would trade Mac for him straight up, right?He did NOT throw a pick 6 during the Dolphins game
As we all know, years ago, Denver once fleeced a team in the NFC by trading away a QB who would never live up to expectations in exchange for a ransom of draft picks. Granted, prime Russell Wilson was leagues better than Cutler ever was, and this Broncos core is unlikely to equal that 2011 Bears' feat of a Conference Finals berth, but there's nonetheless something deeply poetic about the symmetry of it all. It being to the benefit of Seattle, given the history of SB XLVIII, just adds to it.And they gave up two firsts, two seconds, and a fifth for that.

Holy smokes. That’s badWilson's dead cap hits for this season and the following 2; $107M, $85M and $50M.
