... Upon Wilson's approval to waive his no-trade clause, the Seahawks will send him to Denver, ending his historic 10-season run in Seattle that included nine Pro Bowl selections, one Super Bowl title and more wins than any quarterback ever has posted during his first 10 seasons in the league.
The Broncos were Wilson's preference, if he was traded, sources told ESPN's Brady Henderson....
The Broncos' odds to win the Super Bowl improved from 25-1 to 12-1 Tuesday at Caesars Sportsbook. Only three teams -- the Buffalo Bills (15-2), Kansas City Chiefs (8-1) and Green Bay Packers (10-1) have better odds to win the Super Bowl than the Broncos at Caesars Sportsbook.
Funny that the Rams, Bengals and 49r's don't top the list.
The Seahawks, meanwhile, saw their odds to win the Super Bowl fall from 40-1 to 75-1 at Caesars.
Wilson beat the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII and will become the first quarterback to start for a team they beat in the Super Bowl, according to ESPN Stats & Information research....
The Seahawks take on $26 million in dead money by trading Wilson. Per ESPN Stats & Information research, that's the second-most dead money a team has ever incurred, trailing the $33.8 million the Philadelphia Eagles ate in the Carson Wentz trade.
What is dead money?
Sounds like he wanted to leave. There's more detail in other articles. We'll see, it's not like the Seahawks have been burning up the league lately.
... Wilson's trade comes 13 months after his frustrations with the organization bubbled to the surface. He publicly complained last February about the all the hits and sacks he had taken over his career -- lobbying for the team to improve his pass protection -- and about his perceived lack of say in personnel matters relative to other top quarterbacks....
Wilson leaves Seattle as the franchise's career leader in most relevant passing categories and the only quarterback to win a Lombardi Trophy for the Seahawks.
The Seahawks are scheduled to play a home game against the Broncos next season.
Angry fans or nice?
