Russell Wilson’s contract extension with the Broncos is finally complete. Let's ride. JustinM_NFL breaks down the deal, what it means, and the season ahead for Wilson. FrontOffice33 | BroncosCountry
. The deal contains $165 million in guaranteed money. Wilson had two years and approximately $51 million remaining on his existing contract.
The extension ties Wilson to the Broncos organization through the next seven seasons for a total of $296 million. Wilson will eventually earn $49 million annually once the extension kicks in, which currently makes him the second-highest paid quarterback in the league behindand the $50.271 million he earns yearly. It represents a massive commitment to Wilson from the Broncos’ new ownership group.
The Broncos were all in on Wilson the moment they executed a shocking trade to acquire him that saw general manager George Paton part with several draft selections and players. Doubling down by signing Wilson to a massive five-year extension further signals their belief in Wilson’s ability to lead them to Super Bowl contention. Offering him an extension was a necessity given the remaining terms of his contract.
Teams don’t acquire quarterbacks of Wilson’s caliber to allow a short-term contract that was originally signed by the previous franchise to remain in place. It’s negotiating in bad faith and the Broncos never planned to upset the new face of their franchise.are the Broncos and Wilson’s representation had been negotiating the terms surrounding the extension for nearly six months.
With Wilson’s future now secured, attention immediately turns back to what’s most important: winning football games. The Broncos are entering a 2022 campaign with massive expectations on their shoulders and Wilson is the reason why. The Broncos have long been viewed as a squad littered with potential that was being held back by their lack of a franchise quarterback.
