LMAO

Imagine believing that.

They haven’t discussed a trade because the Packers weren’t having it.

it's pretty close

It's not close to the Herschel Walker trade at all. ****ing hell.

They look like world beaters compared to the Seahawks. Go take a peak at the Seahawks drafting from 2016 to 2021.

They might be the worst in the league in that time frame

It was reported yesterday that Denver already had a contract for Aaron written up (as well as 2 other teams did, too) in place for if/when the trade was done with him.

Watch Denver give Russ a deal for a dollar more than Rodgers just got….

Okay? You said Rodgers had everything handed to him. He didn't. You can hate Rodgers...that's fine. I hate him as well.

Bert needs to get Mahomes two stud receivers in free agency and the draft and it won't matter what the teams in our division do.
Turn our offense into an unstoppable monster and there is nothing that can stop the Chiefs from winning their 7th straight division title and a trip to the SB.-

We currently have a problem with the defense that needs to be fixed.

Multiple things can be true at once.

1. Russell Wilson is still a top 10 QB.

2. He’s not even close to Rodgers, who is arguably #1.

3. The Broncos got a lot better at QB.

4. The Broncos are going to have trouble building a championship team around him.

5. Wilson has fizzled out each of the last 2 seasons.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhht.

The fact that this trade was announced within 30 minutes of Rodgers decision to return to Green Bay . . . . .

The fact that they hired GB's offensive coordinator, a guy who Rodgers reportedly absolutely loved to play for, to be their head coach.

The fact that league circles at the combine we're openly reporting Denver's love of Rodgers and that a trade proposal had been made to Green Bay.

I'm sure ALL of that is just misdirect and pure coincidence.


Even YOU'RE not that dumb, KnowMo.

Broncos always get players I like. ****, no more rooting for Wilson. But, now I can finally root for Lock again.

It'll be interesting to see this one plays out. I generally don't like to take hardline stances on trades because you never truly know who won/lost until the dust has settled.

That said, it seems like a decent move for the Broncos. They've lost 13 straight to a division rival and haven't even made the playoffs in 7 years. The franchise needed to put a stop to the bleeding, ASAP. Kind of like the Chiefs with Alex Smith, Wilson can be their bridge. He'll get in there and stabilize a floundering organization and probably even help them get to the playoffs. They still have Jeudy and Sutton, Williams in the backfield, a good defense and offensive line.

I'm really not sure what the Seahawks are doing, though. They just traded two 1sts for a box safety a couple years ago and now they turn around and let their franchise QB go for that plus a couple decent players. I suppose the idea is that they haven't been making the playoffs even with Russ lately so they might as well go all in on the rebuild..

I've always liked Wilson, though. I think, based on the last few years, he is probably about the 8-10th best QB in the league, but if he can get back to peak form I'd feel comfortable saying he'd be a top 5 QB even in today's league.

In either case, this addition makes the Broncos a more difficult matchup over the next couple years, which sucks for us in a division that was already pretty tough. Someone mentioned the Bills being the big winners in this trade and that couldn't be more true. They get to watch the AFC West and North beat up on each other while they have the inside track to the #1 seed.

It's an obvious statement but the Broncos need to get at least one championship out of this. They're now out of 4 cost controlled top 100 picks that would help out that team. And it's not like Wilson is 26-27. He could decline in the next couple of years.

Losing only Harris, Lock and Fant helps them but they need to hit on a ton of later picks to help fill out that roster. Either that or add some pieces in FA.
