When news broke on Tuesday that the Denver Broncos had agreed to terms on a blockbuster trade with the Seattle Seahawks for quarterback Russell Wilson, there was one key asterisk in the story.
Because the quarterback has a no-trade clause, Wilson would have to approve the trade. He would also need to pass a physical, and the trade couldn’t become official until the NFL’s new league year begins next week.
Don’t fear, Broncos fans: “Wilson let Seahawks know he wanted to play for Denver,” according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis. That report from Klis was confirmed by Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times:
Denver was the only team of those who made offers that Wilson agreed to waive his no-trade cause for.
The Washington Commanders also made an offer for Wilson, but it’s unknown if any other teams tried to get a deal done with Seattle. But this is what’s important: Wilson wanted to be a Bronco, and he will be.
