The Denver Broncos and Russell Wilson have agreed to a five-year, $245 million contract extension, with $165 million guaranteed.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — When the Broncos acquired Russell Wilson in March, it lifted the veil of the darkness. The franchise has stumbled through six straight losing seasons and 11 starting quarterbacks since Peyton Manning retired.
The Broncos were never hedging their bet on his future, especially after he has done everything to help change their culture since he stepped foot in the city. Members of new Broncos ownership group arrive in Denver Behind the scenes, the parties went to work. Wilson becomes the league's second highest-paid player in guaranteed money behind Watson and ahead of Arizona's Kyler Murray , Rodgers and Buffalo's Josh Allen .
The catalyst on getting a deal done was new ownership taking over. Paton had been talking with Wilson's agent since March. But Penner became actively involved and worked with Paton this month to get a deal hammered out. The sheer amount of money makes this deal hard to contextualize on first blush.
