Raped? Nah...not really. Nobody got fleeced here except maybe Seattle a little. Lock is garbage. Shelby Harris is 30. Fant is probably the best player in the deal and he hasn't shown that he's game changing. [Reply]

Russell Wilson isn't elite anymore but he's still pretty good, far better than garbage they've had at QB the past couple seasons. It's worth the risk.
You guys are just hating because he went to Broncos. [Reply]

Denver signing Manning then backing into a SB win may be the best thing to ever happen to the AFCW as they try to replicate that over and over again but using trade capital this time instead.
They aren't LA this isn't winning them shit any time soon. [Reply]
I don't think Wilson was ever going to sniff a ring again in Seattle, so why not try the old QBs home in Denver. With that stockpile of picks and players, Seattle has some ammo to compeete in the NFC West. [Reply]
