Wilson, acquired by the Broncos in an offseason blockbuster deal with the Seahawks, is now under contract with Denver for seven years and $296 million. The megadeal is the third-most lucrative contract in NFL history in terms of guaranteed money, behind Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s $230 million and Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray’s $189.5 million. 2 Related The extension pays Wilson an average salary of $49 million per year and keeps him in Denver through the 2028 season. He is set to make $24 million this season and $27 million next year before the extension kicks in. Wilson, 33, said at the start of training camp that he hoped to be Denver’s quarterback “for a long, long time,” and general manager George Patton has repeatedly said one of the Broncos’ top priorities was a long-term extension of the nine-time Pro Bowler. The Broncos traded five draft picks, including two first- and two second-round picks, and three players to the Seahawks to acquire Wilson last March — looking for stability and a star at quarterback, who has been a sticking point since leaving by Peyton Manning. in 2016. Wilson’s 292 career touchdown passes are the second-most in league history by a quarterback through his first 10 NFL seasons, behind only Manning (306). Tom Brady (324) and Aaron Rodgers (317) are the only two players with more touchdown passes than Wilson over the last 10 years. Wilson, who led the Seahawks to the only Super Bowl title in franchise history — defeating the Broncos in the 2014 postseason in Super Bowl XLVIII — has also been a consistent passer in his NFL career. His 113 wins as a starting quarterback (regular season and postseason combined) are the most of any NFL player through his first 10 seasons. Wilson’s Broncos debut will be a homecoming of sorts on Sept. 12 when Denver visits Seattle on Monday Night Football.
