They give up (2) 1st round draft picks, additional draft picks, Shelby Harris, Noah Fant, and Drew Lock for a 30 something QB who didn't go to the playoffs last year. Good deal? Or have the Broncos mortgaged the future for the 3rd best QB in the AFC West?

The Rockies drafted him! Better at judging talented football players than baseball players? Todd Helton was also a football player at Tennessee. He quit after he lost the QB spot to Peyton Manning.

Nice to see Russell and his wife Ciara already being good ambassadors for the Broncos and the NFL. They visited Denver Children's Hospital this week already.

Not quite sure why the exclamation mark, Fred.
Evidently the Broncos coach did not have confidence in Wilson, even though Denver spent:
Russell Wilson signed a 5 year, $242,588,236 contract with the Denver Broncos, including a $50,000,000 signing bonus, $161,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $48,517,647. In 2022, Wilson will earn a base salary of $2,000,000, a signing bonus of $50,000,000 and a roster bonus of $5,000,000, while carrying a cap hit of $17,000,000 and a dead cap value of $124,000,000.

Those are millions, by the way.
Time to bet the O/U on how long Hackett will last.
Poor Russ! He went from a great coach and franchise to the Broncos, who are looking like a clown organization.
They have had more penalties in these two first games than any other two game stretch in Broncos history! And there were some really bad teams in the 60's.

Broncos scored their most points of the season today against the winless Raiders. 23, but still lost. Russell Wilson was the best runner for the Broncos with 24 years and one touchdown.
Davonte Williams was injured and was unlikely to return for the Thursday night game against the Indianapolis Colts.
