The Denver Broncos have made a blockbuster trade to fix their quarterback situation. They have acquired Russell Wilson in a trade that includes two first round picks, two second round picks, and a fifth round pick. They also will receive quarterback Drew Lock, defensive lineman Shelby Harris and young tight end Noah Fant.
The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the news via Twitter on Tuesday.

Wilson is a nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback who has two Super Bowl appearances and one win under his belt. He has spent his entire career with the Seahawks, who drafted him in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
Among his accomplishments are one Second Team All-Pro selection (2019), a Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, along with leading the NFL in passer rating (2015) and passing touchdowns (2017). Wilson’s lone Super Bowl win came against the team he is now joining, the Broncos.
