The Denver Broncos made headlines in the football world on Thursday when they agreed to terms on a five-year, $245 million contract extension with star quarterback Russell Wilson.
The new deal includes $165 million guaranteed, and Wilson is now the sixth-highest paid QB in the NFL on a per-season average. In a sport where QBs are by far the most important position, Denver getting a long-term deal done with its franchise QB was clearly the biggest news item of the day.
