AFC Notes: Russell Wilson, Broncos, Chiefs

Russell Wilson

  • NFL Media’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 Media’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 Denver’s original pick in 2022. That means the Broncos still have a second-round pick obtained from the Rams for Von Miller. (Dan Graziano
  • The Broncos created around $8.4 million in cap space by trading QB Drew Lock, DL Shelby Harris and TE Noah Fant to the Seahawks. (Ryan O’Halloran)

Broncos

“I definitely did more than I expected I was going to do,” Williams said, via DenverBroncos.com. “I ain’t really expect to have the season that I did. I’m pleased with myself for right now. But I know I still got a whole lot of work to do, getting better.”
