The Denver Broncos will head into this offseason looking to make a big splash at the quarterback position, and the odds may be in their favor. According to Odds Shark, Bovada gave the Broncos the second-best odds (+700) of being Russell Wilson’s team next season.
Wilson’s current team, the Seattle Seahawks, remains the favorite (-650). Behind the Broncos are the Pittsburgh Steelers (+850), Las Vegas Raiders (+850), Chicago Bears (+850), and New Orleans Saints (+900).
Rumors have surrounded Wilson for some time now. A year ago, there were rumblings that Wilson wanted out of Seattle, but he eventually denied requesting a trade prior to the season.
After an underwhelming season for the Seahawks, Wilson may be more motivated to change teams.
In December, Jordan Schultz reported that Wilson would consider waiving his no-trade clause for the Broncos, Saints, and New York Giants:
On January 16th, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Wilson wants to “explore his options” this offseason.
So far, the Seahawks have not indicated they are interested in trading Wilson, but if that changed, it appears Denver would be one of the top teams in the mix.
The Broncos Can Put Together a Strong Trade Package
Coming off a 7-10 season, the Seahawks may look to rebuild.
