oh wow

Damn

chiefs broncos just got lit

Bring it on.

Holy ****.

AFC Best

This will not work out the way they hope.

Whoa.

afc west has to be the best division for qbs now damn

They had to have given up a decent amount. That top 10 pick this year for sure.

LMAO

Far cry from Aaron Rodgers.

Wow

When you strike out on trying to get Aaron Rodgers and you have to settle for Russell Wilson instead... that's a shame.

Smart move by the Donkos. Much better than going after Rodgers.

This makes them a playoff team.

Games will be fun again.


Wonder what they had to give up??

Have you watched Russell Wilson the last couple years?

In no way is this better for them.

"Multiple first round picks"

Excellent eeexxxccceeeelent!

Holy ****. This division is nuts. Mahomes just can't get the Brady and Manning treatment.

The NFC is trash. There is nothing over there but shit QB's.

He turns 34 this year so he’s got plenty of time. He’s got 2 years left on his deal. $37 and $40 million cap hits tho idk how much Seattle pays in that.

Denver probably gave up a huge haul

All this.*

*If true.

Good move for Broncos

I understand what you are saying but it's better.

god damn i wonder what all they gave up? probably enough to make that roster as shitty as the one he just left.

He's 33. Hopefully last year was the beginning of him starting his decline.

1-0 against Patrick

No, it’s really not.

Lol.

You serious right now?

Guess we will find out if Russ is cooked or not. Last couple of years he hasn't looked good IMVHO but that could be because of the shitty system Carroll runs.

Half of their team... almost literally.

All of the talk that Russell Wilson will be walking into a more talented/better team in Denver than what he had in Seattle... what will be remaining for him in Denver after the trade may not be much more of an upgrade from his surrounding talent in Seattle.

Denver doesn't have a WR or offensive weapon anything close to the likes of DJ Metcalf.

Base salary is $19 million this year and $22 million next year. So he either gets a new deal or the Seahawks just raped the Broncos since he's so cheap.

Chiefs will come out of the division more battle tested now.

The doncos just moved from 4th place in the afc west all the way up to 3rd.

Damn. Very curious to know what they gave up. Has to be at least two firsts and an impact starter.

Please explain to me how Russell Wilson is in any way better than the back to back MVP?

You’re absolutely clueless. Wilson has been pretty bad down the stretch the last 2 years.

I mean it's at least their top 10 this year and a first next year. I'm sure there's more.

Wtf are you talking about? He’s been really good playing for a defensive team that bases it’s offense entirely on running the damn ball.

And his OL has been among the worst in the league since 2015.

I bet he’s thrilled to get out of that shit hole

absolutely disgusting

Russell Wilson has regressed each of the last 2 seasons down the stretch.

If I'm the Seahawks I start with Surtain, either Fant or Albert O, the 8 this year, this years 2nd and next years 1st.

He threw 40 TDs 2 seasons ago.

And just like that Derek Carr is the worst QB in the division

They just turned down the Redskins offer of multiple 1st, so that tells you everything you need to know.

He'll get a better offensive line and RB group but his WRs are a wash at this point. Denver's defense is better but they could regress with a new DC.

****ing Brady spent 20 years playing the deaf, dumb and blind in his division.

Wowzers

Veach gonna swoop in for Metcalf now, watch….

What was his problem in Seattle? Not enough money? Not enough talent at WR? O-Line wasn't good enough? Seems like a bad move for him personally.

Drew Lock headed to Seattle as part of the trade.

You really think Russell could be that cheap? I'll take two of him.

No offensive line and a coach that would rather run the ball 40 times a game.

Much rather face Wilson twice a year than Rodgers.

Last year he busted a finger on his hand so I wouldn't get too excited about that, of course his numbers took a hit.

The winner of this trade is the Bills because the thing that sucks is the AFC West is going to be a bloodbath while the Bills are going to beat up on their division.

Wilson has been more similar to Ryan Tannehill than Aaron Rodgers the last 2 years.

He's not the same level of player. At all. He's not a genuine force multiplier.

multiple first-round draft picks, plus additional picks and players, per sources

Nice, so much better than the Rodgers consideration.

The guy had 4,200 yards, 40 TD’s, 13 INT’s and a 105 rating in 2020 lmao

Exactly. I don’t know how this is even debatable.

Said in the other thread after the Rogers news that it was going to be an early day for brandy for Elway.

Looks like I'm right.

NFL Network said three times, and I quote, the Seahawks were holding out for a "transformational deal".

4 touchdowns week 17 3 touchdowns week 18. That's not fading down the stretch. This is "only the chiefs can make good trade argument" that we've came to expect from some posters

Now show the first 8 games versus the last 8.

It’s like you’re missing the point entirely.

He’s started out hot than fizzled out 2 years in a row.

ROFL

Jesus ****ing Christ the Seahawks are a dumbass franchise wow

Teams don’t just trade an elite QB just because. He’s obviously hit some sort of wall or something that they’ve decided to trade him while there’s value. Look at the packers. They did everything in their power to get an unhappy QB back because it’s that important. Wilson is not the QB of 5 years ago.

We can dream.

Nobody said this is a bad trade you dumb ****.

We’re comparing Russell Wilson to Aaron Rodgers.

Russell Wilson without the Legion of Boom and Marshawn Lynch has been Matt Ryan-caliber okay/not elite at best.

I’m interested to see how Wilson does in a different offense, but yes, he’s nowhere near the caliber of player Rodgers is. Broncos waited for ARod’s decision before making this deal for a reason.

Why? They can grab Malik Willis in the top 10 if they want and it's not like he has to start right away. Carroll isn't going to let Lock air it out 50 times a game.

You said he's faded down the stretch. That wasn't true.

How the hell could they do that to the Seahawks after agreeing to this deal? That's dirty pool.

Hoping Joe Seahawk makes an appearance.

I’m tellin ya…just feels like a total Veach move.

Teams gonna be circling that franchise like vultures now.

Mahomes will be more motivated now to extend the win streak to 15, the same number on his jersey.

Yes, he did. Two games against shitty teams does not change that. Post the bad games.

Meh.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

LOSERS

Our QB fizzled out in the 2nd half at home to go to the Super Bowl. Does that mean Patrick sucks?

Russell should decline ROFL

Wilson is several years younger than Rodgers with much less baggage. I'd rather have Rodgers for a season or two but Denver probably thinks Wilson can play into his late 30's.

That said, I wouldn't mortgage my future just to make the playoffs or win the division.
