Russell Wilson Traded to Broncos

[Schmoopy1000]

Russell is attached to the broncos for the next 7 years.
I believe he retires a bronco, unless he falls off a cliff & gets cut.

I think the latter part of your post is more likely. I just don't see him holding up that long.

That’s twisting numbers. He has 7 years with an average that puts it at $42.3. That puts him behind:
Rodgers
Murray
Watson
Mahomes
Allen

Annoying isn't it? Nobody expected Wilson to play out the last 2 non-guaranteed years on his current deal and if the Broncos had tried that approach Wilson would have forced an exit after 2 tag years. Not only is it a $42M+ average but the high price part shouldn't kick in until the last few years. It sounds like a fair deal.

That said I think he's on the decline.

Dammit, Seattle won that trade

I agree with me

 

[Battlelyon]

Your overrating this trade, like the media. The Broncos won't even mske the playoffs. This isn't the Wilson of old.

Again, I agree with me.

Quote me, Denver will be third behind Chargers and Chiefs

We'll see

He fell off the cliff in the 2021 season but no one wanted to hear Seahawks fans.

Umm... What was that?

Fountain is just jelly that the Broncos just became a legit Super Bowl contender now.

It's early, but this thread might be good for some laughs.

I was wrong on this one. Russ may be a year or two from retirement at this rate…

I think what @wazzu31 meant was in 2020 Wilson fell off a cliff... defenses quickly figured him out by dropping 2 deep safeties, his mobility started to decline, and teams just simply figured out taking away the first option was the way to play him. And no surprise, it worked. Wilson was always a liability with mid field passing and second/third/fourth looks. He survived on extending plays with his legs (this dropped severely in 2020, I believe when Suh injured his ankle - might've been 2019) and a cannon arm.

As for Seahawks fans, a lot of us were saying that Wilson was spent, and exhibiting a number of these flaws when he was traded. But a lot of folks on the forum and just generally social media/analysts (which I generally pay no attention to) were screaming that Seattle was bitter and butt hurt. I think that's what wazzu is getting at. I mean it's week 5.... maybe Denver wins out and Wilson is a hero... and yes I'll come back and eat crow, but I was one of the few grading the Wilson trade as favorable for Seattle, which so far it's not even close. This is beyond Herschel Walker.

He was done last year. He had his 8 or 9 week run in 2020 where everyone was talking about him finally getting the MVP then since then he has been a bottom tier starting QB.

Dudes! I knew what you meant.

I was making a joke about not listening to Seahawk fans

Schmoopy, I am going to murder you one day.

BTW, I'll bring over some coleslaw next weekend and give my best to the family!

What a shame 33 y/o and washed up.

Seattle letting him go may be one of their best business decisions EVA!

 

[Draft Crazy]

He is trash.

I think the only thing you got wrong is Denver probably finishes fourth.

It's crazy how little Wilson evolved as a QB and now that his traits aren't there anymore Seattle just smartly dumped him. All Denver had to do was find someone better than Drew Lock.
