Aaron Rodgers is staying put in the NFC, but Russell Wilson is on his way out. The Seahawks agreed to trade Wilson to the Broncos on Tuesday, shipping him out of the NFC West for a haul that includes players and multiple draft picks.
It’s an absolute blockbuster of a trade, completely altering the landscape of the AFC and NFC for next season and beyond. The Rams, undoubtedly, benefit from this trade because, well, they no longer have to face Wilson twice a year.
Even though they’re 13-8 against Wilson in the quarterback’s career, they’ll be happy to not face him twice a year like they have for the past 10 seasons. He has 26 touchdowns and 13 interceptions against the Rams in those 21 starts, getting sacked a whopping 82 times – nearly four times per game.
