Russell Wilson 'blocked' moves to two NFL rivals before Denver Broncos trade

Russell Wilson reportedly rejected signing for the Philadelphia Eagles before he moved to the Denver Broncos.

The NFL quarterback was traded from the Seattle Seahawks to the Broncos before the start of last season. In return, Denver agreed to give the Seahawks three players as well as a number of draft picks.

Drew Lock, Noah Fant and Shelby Harris were all traded to Seattle, with the NFC West team also receiving two first-round picks, two second round picks and a fifth round pick. Wilson agreed to a five-year deal worth $245m last September, with $145m guaranteed, to make him one of the highest paid players in the NFL.
