Russell Wilson contract extension - Answering biggest questions and fallout, from Lamar Jackson's future to Denver Broncos' roster
Quarterback Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos agreed to a reported five-year, $245 million contract extension Thursday, a deal that includes $165 million in guaranteed money, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal is the third-most lucrative contract in NFL history in terms of guaranteed money, with only Deshaun Watson's $230 million and Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's $189.5 million outranking Wilson's figure. It also stakes the 33-year-old's career to the Broncos for the foreseeable future — he's under contract through 2028 — as he tries to join John Elway and Peyton Manning in leading Denver to the Super Bowl plateau.
