Denver Broncos general manager George Paton discussed the team's motivation behind acquiring former quarterback Russell Wilson when speaking to reporters on Monday.
"We took a shot on a quarterback who's had a lot of success in this league,'' Paton said, according to Mike Klis of 9News in Denver. "Nine pro Bowls, won the most the first 10 years in this league."
The Broncos initially traded for Wilson in a deal with the Seattle Seahawks during the 2022 offseason. Then, Denver signed the quarterback to a massive five-year extension worth $245 million before the start of the ensuing regular season.
