Russell Wilson calls Denver Broncos 'perfect fit' as deal with Seattle Seahawks becomes official

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — With Hall of Famer John Elway looking on in a crowded auditorium, Russell Wilson was formally introduced as the Denver Broncos' newest quarterback Wednesday. And Wilson left no doubt just how much he hopes to get done with his new teammates, in a new city, over the next decade.

«My goal is to play 10 or 12 more years and hopefully win three, four more Super Bowls, that's the plan,'' Wilson said. „That's the mindset. That's why I came here, to finish my career here and hopefully finish on top as a champion. And do it multiple times.''

Wilson waived his no-trade clause last week to complete the deal between the Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks. In one of the biggest trades in league history, the Broncos sent two first-round draft picks, two second-rounders and a fifth-rounder along with quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant and defensive end Shelby Harris to the Seahawks in exchange for Wilson and a fourth-round pick.

The deal became official with the start of the new league year Wednesday.

In the same room where Peyton Manning was formally introduced as the Broncos' quarterback on March 20, 2012, Wilson took questions, spoke about the reasons he believes the Broncos are the right fit for him and posed for photos with his family around him to go with his new No. 3 jersey in hand.

The 33-year-old played 10 seasons for the Seahawks, has been a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and started Super Bowl XLVIII when Seattle defeated Manning and the Broncos, 43-8.

Russell thanked Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, general manager John Schneider, a long list of assistant coaches and other staff members as well as fans in Seattle. He also called the trade a “mutual decision» for him and the Seahawks.
