Ooohhhhh, this is basically breaking new ground, right? Has a top 5-10 QB not infused with copious amounts of HGH into their neck ever been traded like this? Bledsoe?

 

[mikeford]

Is Pete Carroll planning on retiring or something?

 

[Marciano490]

@j-man— what’re your thoughts?

 

[Cotillion]

Will be interested to see the terms of the trade...

edit and there are some of them... thanks redoctober

Vick?

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Carson Palmer?

 

[sodenj5]

Rest In Peace to Josh McDaniels, who waited for the perfect opportunity to end his coaching career before it ever restarted.

 

[ifmanis5]

Wow. Blows up the Rodgers rumors as well.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Vick?

nah already on the way down before he missed 2 full seasons with a suspension

 

[Bozo Texino]

Wow. Blows up the Rodgers rumors as well.

Those were already blown up.

 

[E5 Yaz]

That's not a bad Plan B

 

[glennhoffmania]

Bledsoe was a top 5-10 QB?

 

[Jungleland]

Rest In Peace to Josh McDaniels, who waited for the perfect opportunity to end his coaching career before it ever restarted.

Ha, immediately one of my first thoughts as well. Horrific day for the Raiders.

 

[Ale Xander]

Happy for jman

Sad for the Chargers and Josh/Raiders

Warren Moon?

 

[cshea]

Mahomes. Wilson, Herbert in the same division.

(sorry Derek Carr)

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Rest In Peace to Josh McDaniels, who waited for the perfect opportunity to end his coaching career before it ever restarted.

Done concern trolling Flores, and now on to transparent trolling re: McDaniels?

Anyways, McDaniels is likely gonna coach 2-3 years in Denver at least, and even if he’s canned he will waltz into an OC job if he wants it.

I don’t see how this transaction isn’t bad news for every AFCW team.

 

[Shelterdog]

Bledsoe was a top 5-10 QB?

By two key metrics -- interceptions and wine spectator ratings--yes!

I doubt it

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

As a reminder, Wilson has 2 years remaining on his deal at 35M/per

I stand corrected.

[jose melendez]

Here are the NFL QBs in 2021 and 2002

Bledsoe was easily top 10

 

[Average Game James]

As a reminder, Wilson has 2 years remaining on his deal at 35M/per

Looks like Denver will have him at $24mn and $27mn cap numbers based on Spotrac info

Edit: amazing how fast they are... already shows him in Denver... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/denver-broncos/russell-wilson-9885/

 

[Cellar-Door]

Best QB traded was probably one of these:
Brett Favre... yes he was 38, but he also had just finished top 3 in MVP voting
Fran Tarkenton?
Norm Van Brocklin?
Warren Moon
Jay Cutler?
Bledsoe

 

[Jungleland]

I don’t see how this transaction isn’t bad news for every NFCW team.

In the long run, sure, but doesn’t this all but ensure an already bad Seahawks team isn’t competing soon? If I’m the Cards I’m thinking my path in the early Kyler years just got a little easier.

 

[Rudy's Curve]

Favre was pretty great his last year with the Packers. Of course, the circumstances are entirely different.

 

[Marciano490]

Any reason to think Wilson won’t approve?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Woops I meant to say AFCW, my fault.

Unless, that is, this blows a hole in that plan

Now go back an correct the McDaniels post

It’s bad news because Josh McDaniels now has the worst QB in the division by a pretty significant margin and has to play Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert or Patrick Mahomes SIX times per year.

 

[Jungleland]

Woops I meant to say AFCW, my fault.

Haha, that makes more sense.

Absolutely agreed, though I think KC fans can hang their hat on Mahomes being better and LAC fans can on Herbert still being cheap (with an argument for being better soon as well). I like Carr, but it seems unlikely that he gets better and the rookie contract benefit is long gone.

 

[ifmanis5]

Up to Ciara.

 

[Bozo Texino]

Fran Tarkenton?
Norm Van Brocklin?
Warren Moon
Jay Cutler?
Bledsoe

Moon's 1993 season was likely his best. He was the Oilers' offense that year. They started 1-4 but rattled off 11 in a row to finish 12-4.

He was traded to Minnesota the following offseason.

James Palmer

#broncos will also send DL Shelby Harris to Seattle as well per source.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Do we just have to take their word for it that it’s one of the largest deals ever? What are the details?

 

[amfox1]

Jay Glazer

The trade is for three players (one being Drew Lock) and two first rounders and two second rounders and a fifth for Russell Wilson and a fourth

 

[amfox1]

I assume the #9 pick is one of the picks being traded by DEN to SEA. DEN had two 2nds (DEN/LAR) and two 5ths (DEN/DET) this year, prior to the trade.

 

[cshea]

Glazer reports that he already Ok’d Denver

And Seahawks get 2 firsts 2 seconds a 5th and 3 players

[BigSoxFan]

Watson to the Hawks? That feels like a Carroll move.

 

[wibi]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

 

[Shelterdog]

Any reason to think Wilson won’t approve?

If folk were doing their jobs no because his agent should have been involved in lots of discussions leading up to this.

 

[Helmet Head]

Any reason to think Wilson won’t approve?

Maybe he looks at that division with 2 top 5 young QBs and says no thanks?

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Here are the NFL QBs in 2021 and 2002

Bledsoe was easily top 10

This. Trading Bledsoe in the division was one of the all-time baller moves by BB. Bledsoe was quite good his first year in Buffalo.

The final player traded from the #Broncos to the #Seahawks is Noah Fant. The #Broncos believe in Albert Okwuegbunam taking over. That's the trade folks.
