After Missing Out on Aaron Rodgers the Broncos Land Russell Wilson in a Blockbuster Trade

Aaron Rodgers has reportedly agreed to stay in Green Bay for a cool $200 million over the next four years.  There were a handful of teams hoping to lure him away from the Packers.  One of those teams was the Denver Broncos.

Following Rodgers' announcement came news of a blockbuster trade involving the Broncos and a Super Bowl winning quarterback.  According to Adam Schefter, the Seahawks have agreed to trade Russell Wilson to the Broncos.

The Seahawks will receive quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick.

Russ wasn't going to get anymore hardware in Seattle.  The Broncos right now are probably a better team overall and are hoping Wilson is the missing piece on a deep playoff run.
