We know the Denver Broncos have agreed to trade for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. Now we’re starting to learn the details.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero first reported Tuesday that quarterback Drew Lock is being sent to Seattle as part of the deal. After that, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported defensive lineman Shelby Harris is also going to the Seahawks.
Jay Glazer of Fox Sports then reported a third player will be sent to Seattle, but the player hasn’t been named yet (update: tight end Noah Fant). Glazer also reported that Denver is trading two first-round picks, two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick to the Seahawks in exchange for Wilson and a fourth-round pick.
Given that Wilson is a Super Bowl-winning QB, that price was a no-brainer for the Broncos. Denver has been looking for a franchise quarterback ever since Peyton Manning retired in 2016, and the Broncos now have their man in 33-year-old veteran Russell Wilson.
Story update: Here are the complete trade details, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter —
Broncos get: Russell Wilson, 4th-round pick
Seahawks get: Drew Lock, Noah Fant, Shelby Harris, 1st-round pick, 1st-round pick, 2nd-round pick, 2nd-round pick, 5th-round pick
The AFC West just got a lot more interesting.
