Russell Wilson is headed to the Denver Broncos, but not because the Washington Commanders didn't try to land him first.
John Keim of ESPN reported the NFC East team offered the Seattle Seahawks multiple first-round draft picks and other selections in three different drafts in potential trade packages for Wilson. The Commanders also asked the Seahawks if they wanted a current player to be included but never received a counteroffer.
Alas, Seattle traded Wilson out of conference to the Broncos on Tuesday.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Denver received the star quarterback and a fourth-round pick in the deal, while the Seahawks received two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-round pick, quarterback Drew Lock, defensive end Shelby Harris and tight end Noah Fant.
