The Denver Broncos acquired quarterback Russell Wilson this offseason without a contract extension in place. While that adds some long-term uncertainty at a position with years of fluctuation for the franchise, it appears that won’t be the case for long.

Wilson quickly settled in with his new surroundings. The NFL star immediately stepped up as a leader in the locker room, embraced the city and became a favorite among teammates and fans. He is under contract through 2023, but both sides have already expressed interest in signing an extension.

The priority during training camp has been on Wilson building chemistry with Denver’s receiving corps, especially after the Tim Patrick injury. He’s also focused on a Week 1 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, an opportunity for revenge against his former team and his first trip to Seattle as a visitor.

While all of these are priorities right now, there appears to be a realistic chance that a new contract is signed before 2023.
