Terms of Russell Wilson’s contract, expected salary cap rise still gives Broncos flexibility to keep, add players

It was a day full of statements — both literal and implied — for the Broncos’ new ownership group, for general manager George Paton and for quarterback Russell Wilson.

Wilson’s five-year, $245 million contract extension on Thursday was an emphatic declaration by owner/CEO Greg Penner and Co. that his flush-with-cash family will spend.

“To have this new ownership group come in and put their stamp on this organization by doing something like this, it’s just unbelievable,” coach Nathaniel Hackett gushed.
