Wilson, 33, spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Seahawks. Seattle made the postseason eight times with Wilson under center, winning the Super Bowl in 2013 and losing the Super Bowl in 2014. Coincidentally, Wilson's Seahawks defeated the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.
The Broncos have been looking for a franchise quarterback since Peyton Manning retired after the 2015 season. Trevor Siemian, Case Keenum, Joe Flacco, Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater have all started at quarterback for Denver since 2016. Lock is expected to be included in the trade for Wilson.
