Broncos sign QB Russell Wilson to 5-year extension worth $245M US.: reports

The Denver Broncos and quarterback Russell Wilson have agreed on a five-year, $245 million US extension that includes $165 million in guarantees, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday morning.

As word of the deal spread, the Broncos tweeted a short clip of Wilson with the team's signature catchphrase " Let's Ride."

The extension pays Wilson an average salary of $49 million a year and keeps him in Denver through the 2028 season.

It's just shy of Aaron Rodgers' $50 million average on the four-year, $200 million deal the Packers QB signed to stay in Green Bay this year.

Let’s Ride.
