The 35-year-old had previously played for the Seattle Seahawks for ten seasons, helping them defeat the Broncos in the 2014 Super Bowl.
In terms of yearly income, he was the fifth-highest paid player in the NFL, although he only won 11 of his 30 games in Denver.
“God is with me,” Wilson declared. “I am excited for what’s next.”
After helping Denver win their third Super Bowl in 2016, iconic quarterback Peyton Manning announced his retirement. The Broncos felt they had at last found a worthy long-term replacement.
In exchange, they sent three players, two first-round draft picks, two second-round picks, and a fifth-round pick to Seattle.
