It appears that the Russell Wilson era with the Denver Broncos is coming to an end after it has been reported that the team is sitting him in final two games of the season for contract reasons. In what can only be described as a complete failure, it’s as good a time as any to look back and review how much the franchise gave up to trade for the quarterback.
In March 2022, the Seattle Seahawks traded their franchise signal-caller and a fourth-round pick in exchange for quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant and defensive tackle Shelby Harris. Denver also sent two first-round draft picks, two second-round draft picks and one fifth-round pick for Wilson.
