Russell Wilson in Denver, one of the worst transfers in history?
Russell Wilson arrived in Denver two years ago, almost to the day. At the time, Denver had let go of Drew Lock, Shelby Harris, Noah Fant, two 1st round picks (Charles Cross and Devon Whiterspoon), two 2nd round picks (Boye Mafe and Derick Hall) and a fifth round pick (Tyreke Smith). A few months later, Broncos leaders gave Wilson 245 million for a contract extension.
