With Russell Wilson on his way out of town, we can take a look back on the trade that brought him to the Denver Broncos.

The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks made a historic trade just two years for quarterback Russell Wilson. Denver sent two first round picks, two second round picks, a fifth round pick, and three players for Russell Wilson and a fourth round pick.

Broncos receive

  • QB Russell Wilson
  • DL Eyioma Uwazurike (2022 – 4th round pick), currently suspended

Seahawks receive

  • QB Drew Lock
  • TE Noah Fant
  • IDL Shelby Harris
  • OT Charles Cross (2022 – 1st round pick)
  • OLB Boye Mafe (2022 – 2nd round pick)
  • OLB Tyreke Smith (2022 – 5th round pick)
  • CB Devon Witherspoon (2023 – 1st round pick)
  • EDGE Derick Hall (2023 – 2nd round pick)

Is this the worst trade in NFL history, though?
