The Denver Broncos landed their long-sought franchise quarterback after all – just not the one many expected. Not long after news broke Tuesday that Aaron Rodgers had decided to stay with the Green Bay Packers, the Broncos agreed to acquire nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the move had not yet been finalized. NFL Network was first to report the news. The Seahawks will receive two first-round picks, two second-round picks, quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant and defensive lineman Shelby Harris. Lock started 21 games for the Broncos the last three years and could be a candidate to take over as the team's starter. For the latest updates, click the link in our bio.
