The Denver Broncos are dotting their is and crossing their ts to put the finishing touches on the Russell Wilson trade.
Wilson and his agent, Mark Rodgers, arrived in Denver on Tuesday. The QB and agent spent yesterday afternoon at the team’s facility and Wilson took his physical, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. Wilson then had dinner with the team’s coaches and executives at John Elway’s restaurant.
Wilson passed his physical and signed his no-trade provision on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal is now official on Wilson’s end, but it won’t become NFL official until the new league year begins on March 16.
The Broncos were Wilson’s preferred trade destination.
“My understanding was this was the only team Russell Wilson wanted to go to,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday. “Russell Wilson wanted to go to the Denver Broncos. It’s a place he likes … and they have a roster that is essentially stacked at receiver, on defense, at running back. All they needed was a quarterback, and they got one.”
Denver agreed to trade three players and five draft picks to Seattle in exchange for Wilson on Tuesday.
