USAT: Broncos Wire

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wants to “explore his options” this offseason, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport (via Seahawks Wire). Rapoport clarified that Wilson has not demanded a trade, but the veteran QB “wants to investigate other destinations.” The Seahawks have said they do not plan to trade Wilson, so the QB might have to force his way out if he ultimately decides to pursue another opportunity. Wilson has a no-trade clause in his contract, so he would have to sign off on any potential trade, essentially allowing him to pick his team if a trade does happen. Last year, the Denver Broncos were not on Wilson’s list of preferred trade destinations, but it’s unclear if his feelings about the team are still the same. After trading away Von Miller, the Broncos would presumably have enough draft capital to pull off such a trade. Denver has 11 picks this year, including ninth overall and five selections in the first three rounds. The Broncos will also have around $50 million in salary cap space, so they would be able to afford Wilson’s contract if he agreed to a Denver trade. If Wilson eventually hits the trade block later this offseason, the Broncos should be among his suitors.
