Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson confirms Seattle Seahawks tried to trade him before this year, says his skills not diminished

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- With his return to Seattle in his first regular-season game with the Denver Broncos just days away, quarterback Russell Wilson confirmed Thursday the Seahawks had actually tried to trade him before -- in 2018 -- and said he doesn't believe his skills have diminished as he heads into his 11th season.

The Broncos' blockbuster trade to acquire Wilson in March -- for five draft picks, including two first-round picks and two second-round picks, as well as three players -- was one of the biggest league-altering moves of the offseason.
