The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to trade nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos for a massive haul of draft picks and players, two people familiar with the negotiations confirmed to The Associated Press on Tuesday, March 8, 2022. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the blockbuster trade, which is pending Wilson passing a physical, can’t become official until the start of the new league year on March 16.

Editor's Note: It was mentioned during this interview that future Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson injured his thumb with the Seattle Seahawks. In fact, it was a middle finger.

On Tuesday, the Broncos acquired Seattle Seahawks' quarterback Russell Wilson in a trade that garnered attention across the league and boosted fans' expectations that the team could come back after several losing seasons. Commentator and former Bronco Ryan Harris has high expectations too.
