In one of the largest trades in NFL history, the Denver Broncos have agreed to send a significant package to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for standout quarterback Russell Wilson, sources tell ESPN.
The trade gives Denver the quarterback it has sought since Peyton Manning retired and it gives Seattle a foundation on which to rebuild without the quarterback who led the Seahawks to their only Super-Bowl title.
As the last obstacle for the trade to be completed, Wilson is expected to waive his no-trade clause, freeing the Seahawks to send him to Denver, and ending his historic 10-season run in Seattle that included nine Pro-Bowl selections, one Super Bowl title and more wins than any quarterback ever has posted during his first 10 seasons in the league.
