The Denver Broncos made a blockbuster trade last spring when they agreed to trade three players and five draft picks to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for quarterback Russell Wilson and a draft pick in return.
In addition to trading three players, Denver sent first-, second- and fifth-round picks in 2022 plus first- and second-round picks in 2023 in exchange for Wilson and a 2022 fourth-round pick.
The Broncos used that fourth-round pick last year to land Iowa State defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike, who had an underwhelming rookie season in 2022. Wilson also had an underwhelming first season in Denver — in fact, it was the worst season of his career so far.
The Broncos will hope that Wilson bounces back in 2023 and Uwazurike steps up as a key contributor in his second season.
The Seahawks, meanwhile, landed eight total players in the trade and after using the final two picks from the trade over the weekend, we now know all eight players that Seattle landed in exchange for Wilson.
Here’s a quick recap.
1
Quarterback Drew Lock
After serving as Geno Smith’s backup last season, Lock re-signed on a one-year deal with the Seahawks this offseason.
2
Tight end Noah Fant
Seattle picked up Fant’s 2023 fifth-year option last spring, so he has one more year left on his contract with the Seahawks.
3
Defensive lineman Shelby Harris
After recording two sacks and knocking down four passes last season, Harris become a free agent this spring and he is still unsigned.
4
Offensive tackle Charles Cross (2022 first-round pick)
Cross started all 17 games for Seattle last season and was penalized seven times and allowed six sacks.
5
Outside linebacker Boye Mafe (2022 second-round pick)
Mafe played in 17 games last season, earning three starts. He totaled three sacks as a rookie.
6
Outside linebacker Tyreke Smith (2022 fifth-round pick)
Smith did not appear in any regular-season games in 2022.
7
Cornerback Devon Witherspoon (2023 first-round pick)
Witherspoon was ranked No. 10 on Draft Wire’s pre-draft big board. The Seahawks landed him with the fifth overall pick.

Edge rusher Derick Hall (2023 second-round pick)
Hall was ranked No. 70 on Draft Wire’s pre-draft big board. Seattle took him with pick No. 37.
