Denver eats close to $100 million as part of the decision to trade the farm and accomplish nothing with the best quarterback in Seattle’s history.
The Denver Broncos acquired Russell Wilson in a mountain-moving trade that ended in only two seasons of work for Wilson as quarterback. On Monday, the team notified Russ that he will not play for Denver next season. As part of the move, the Broncos set the record for the most dead cap space associated with one player. They doubled the previous number. Notably, his parting remarks differ vastly towards Denver as opposed to a couple years ago towards Seattle.
Wilson will now test free agency for the first time in his career, with plenty of intrigue around his next landing spot. Pittsburgh and Atlanta are among the front-runners. To that end, although I would side with those who argue the Pittsburgh Steelers make more sense, there is a case to be made that Wilson signing with the Atlanta Falcons helps the Seahawks. The Falcons pick at No. 8 in this draft, and the conversation surrounding J.J. McCarthy has become muddy.
