The deal is worth $245 million, including $165 million in guaranteed money, according to a person familiar with the contract.  Wilson had two years and $51 million remaining on his previous deal and now is under contract with the Broncos for the next seven seasons, for $296 million.  Wilson will turn 34 in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">The Broncos&#8217; new ownership group, led by Walmart heir Rob Walton, purchased the franchise from the Pat Bowlen Trust for $4.65 billion, the record sale price for an NFL team.  The league&#8217;s team owners formally ratified the sale last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Wilson&#8217;s extension with the Broncos runs through the 2028 season, during which he will turn 40. He was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection in 10 seasons with the Seahawks, helping them to a Super Bowl title in the 2013 season.  The Broncos hope that his arrival will reverse the fortunes of a team that has missed the playoffs in six straight seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">The Broncos traded quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris and a package of draft picks, including a pair of first-round choices and a pair of second-rounders, to the Seahawks for Wilson and a fourth-round selection .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">There had been speculation, before the trade, that the Broncos would pursue a deal for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.  Instead, Rodgers stayed in Green Bay, agreeing in March to a three-year contract extension worth just more than $150 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">That was the first in a series of new deals for prominent quarterbacks leaguewide.  Deshaun Watson signed a five-year contract with the Cleveland Browns, who traded for him in March, worth a guaranteed $230 million.  In July, Kyler Murray agreed to a five-year, $230.5 million extension with the Arizona Cardinals that included $160 million in guaranteed money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p><span class=\"font--article-body font-copy hide-for-print ma-0 pb-md db italic interstitial\">The Cardinals don&#8217;t trust Kyler Murray, so how can Murray trust the Cardinals?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Up next could be Lamar Jackson, the former league MVP who is negotiating an extension with the Baltimore Ravens.  The Cincinnati Bengals&#8217; Joe Burrow and the Los Angeles Chargers&#8217; Justin Herbert, who were chosen in the 2020 NFL draft, become eligible for contract extensions following the 2022 season, under NFL rules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\">Watson signed his contract while facing of sexual misconduct made by women in more than two dozen civil lawsuits.  Watson has denied the denied and has not been charged with a crime.  But he is serving an 11-game suspension for violating the NFL&#8217;s personal conduct policy, under a settlement reached between the league and the NFL Players Association.  Some owners of NFL teams were upset that the Browns gave Watson a fully guaranteed contract, particularly under such circumstances, several people with knowledge of the league&#8217;s inner workings have said in recent months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<div data-oembed-type=\"twitter\" class=\"\" style=\"min-height:171px\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I think the fully guaranteed contract ship has sailed (at least for now).
