Russell Wilson signs a new contract with the Denver Broncos
The Denver Broncos and quarterback Russell Wilson agreed to a five-year contract extension of $245M. The agreement will include a signing bonus of $50 million, a warranty of $165 million, and an annual salary of over $19 million. Wilson, a former Pro Bowl selection and Super Bowl champion will now be one of the highest-paid QBs in the NFL.
Broncos general manager George Paton said they reached their goal during a press conference on Thursday afternoon. According to ESPN, both sides set a deadline for midnight on Wednesday.
“We did feel pressure; it came down to the wire last night,” Paton said. “We had a deadline, and I felt we would figure it out, but you never know; we had never done a deal together.”
Last season, the Seattle Seahawks recorded only 3,113 overruns and 25 touchdowns, down significantly from its TD season of 4,000 yards in 2020. He would suffer an injury during the season that would cause him to miss three games.
Russell Wilson and Ciara recently bought a house in Colorado
Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara have wasted no time finding a new home in Colorado after Wilson’s blockbuster trade to Denver.
According to Front Office Sports, the couple purchased an enormous $25 million mansion in Colorado in April. The report said it was the most expensive single-family home ever sold in Denver. But its features will be pretty clear why the house was so expensive.
The mansion stands on 20,000 square feet of land, with four bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a nine-car garage, and all the comforts of a night in the city. There is an indoor basketball court, playroom, theatre, and an indoor pool for the couple and their kids to enjoy.
