The Denver Broncos made a major splash Tuesday by acquiring star quarterback Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks, but not everyone believes he will be a difference-maker.
One general manager told The Athletic that it was a reach by Denver for a player past his prime who was a below average leader.
Denver sent two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-round pick, and a defensive lineman to acquire Wilson. Wilson is seen as the best quarterback since Manning retired.
Wilson threw for a career-low 3,113 yards last season, with 25 touchdown and six interceptions. The 10-year veteran was forced to miss time for the first time in his career after breaking his finger.
The Broncos have a lot of offensive weapons. The defense allowed the third-fewest points in the league last season.
Nathaniel Hackett is a new head coach in Denver. Some people are skeptical about the effectiveness of the trade when they play in the competitiveAFC West.
One head coach told Howe that Denver gave up a lot.
The Broncos haven't made the playoffs since the 2015 season when they won Super Bowl 50.
