Russell Wilson Guaranteed To Make $165M In Five-Year Extension With Denver Broncos

Russell Wilson will return as a quarterback for the Denver Broncos for the foreseeable future. The Broncos and Wilson have mutually agreed on a five-year extension worth $245 million with a guaranteed $165 million payout, ESPN confirmed.

The long-term extension was a goal general manager George Paton had since first acquiring Wilson in a trade back in March. Not to mention, Wilson’s deal is the third-most lucrative contract in NFL history—as far as guaranteed money is concerned. The deals ahead of Wilson’s are Deshaun Watson’s $230 million deal with the Cleveland Browns and Kyler Murray’s $189.5 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals.
