AFC Notes: Russell Wilson, Broncos, Chiefs

Russell Wilson

  • NFL Mediaโ€™s James Palmer reports the Broncos were not panicked about their quarterback situation for 2022 and had this plan in the works all along.
  • NFL Mediaโ€™s Ian Rapoport says former Seahawks QB Russell Wilson chose the Broncos out of the teams that inquired with Seattle, picking them over the Commanders and at least one other team. 
  • Seattle will be getting second-round picks from the Broncos in 2022 and 2023, including Denverโ€™s original pick in 2022. That means the Broncos still have a second-round pick obtained from the Rams for Von Miller. (Dan Graziano
