The Broncos quarterback could have pushed for a fully guaranteed deal similar to Deshaun Watson's. Now it's up to Lamar Jackson to be strong in his stance ...

The deals even out, except for McLaurin’s, after the third year, but Metcalf’s deal is the most player-friendly, with Brown’s (with a fifth year) and McLaurin’s being more team-friendly. I truly realized the value of an agent as a filter from the team to the player. Offering de-escalators to a premier player such as Smith is out of the norm and brought a predictable reaction. And while recent extensions for [Derek Carr](https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/04/13/report-derek-carr-raiders-agree-three-year-extension-through-2025-season) and [Kyler Murray](https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/07/21/kyler-murray-cardinals-agree-to-contract-extension) did not include those guarantees, the argument could be made that they were not elite-level players. [Now it is up to Lamar Jackson](https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/09/22/business-of-football-lamar-jackson-negotiating-no-agent), with or without an agent, to be strong in his stance.

We now have a clear pattern toward bringing a young player’s contract out of its fixed and reasonable rookie-wage-scale earnings into the top-tier veteran stratosphere: Stay (mostly) quiet during the offseason, report to camp, do not participate in drills or on-field work and get paid. A holdout is not an unsigned player, such as a rookie yet to sign his first NFL contract or a franchise player yet to sign his one-year franchise tender.

The contract binds Wilson, [the former Seahawks quarterback turned Denver signal-caller after a trade in March](https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/03/08/seahawks-agree-to-trade-russell-wilson-to-broncos), to the Broncos for seven years and $296 million. [Deshaun Watson deal](https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/news/deshaun-watson-contract-details) set a precedent, or so we thought, for full guarantees for elite quarterbacks.

The Denver Broncos and quarterback Russell Wilson have agreed on a five-year, $245 million extension that includes $165 million in guarantees.

Wilson will make his Denver debut on Sept. "We couldn't have been more excited as we were going through the process to see that the organization had made the trade for Russell,'' Penner said. "Right away, we got a sense of how positive he is as a leader.

Le quart-arrière Russell Wilson a accepté une prolongation de contrat de cinq ans des Broncos de Denver.

C’est en 2014 qu’il a remporté le Graal du football américain, face à sa nouvelle équipe. L’homme d’affaires a aussi présenté Damani Leech comme président de l’équipe au mois d’août. L’Américain de 33 ans aura ainsi atteint la quarantaine quand son contrat viendra à échéance.

Wilson détenait encore deux ans et 51 millions à son contrat quand les Broncos l’ont acquis des Seahawks de Seattle en mars, en échange de trois joueurs et cinq choix de repêchage. Wilson a joué à Seattle pendant 10 ans, menant l’équipe à deux participations au Super Bowl, dont une victoire. (Englewood) Les Broncos de Denver et le quart-arrière Russell Wilson se sont entendus sur les termes d’une prolongation de contrat de cinq ans et 245 millions US, dont 165 millions seraient garantis, a assuré jeudi une personne au fait des négociations à l’Associated Press.

Le nouveau plus gros contrat de l'histoire de la NFL est pour le quarterback de Denver.

Au total, le joueur de 34 ans est désormais engagé pour 7 ans et 296 millions de dollars. Avant même son premier match de saison régulière, les dirigeants du Colorado sont donc plus que jamais à fond derrière leur nouveau lanceur. Sur ce total, 165 millions seraient garantis.

$160 million $230 million As Schefter mentions, the deal contains within it $165 million in guaranteed money. Wilson's new contract will make him one of the NFL's highest-paid quarterbacks. His wife — singer/songwriter Ciara — has a net worth of $20 million. Wilson isn't the only member of his family with a net worth in the millions. That provides him with an early raise while giving the Broncos the flexibility to move on from him with less of a penalty should he regress in the latter years of the contract. That said, though Broncos CEO Greg Penner didn't provide an update on extension talks in August, he did offer praise of Wilson when asked about a potential contract new deal.

Perhaps as the price of playing simultaneously with Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson's greatness too often has slipped into the pages of NFL ...

If he loses a step, does he get taken down even more regularly than he already is? Wilson has been sacked more than 35 times in all but two of his 10 years as a starter. In Brady’s past 19 seasons as a starter, he has been sacked more than 35 times only twice. The Broncos’ enthusiasm for having him a part of the organization is totally logical. Wilson gained a career’s worth of appreciation and validation in the second-most important way possible: He got paid, with dollars dripping out of every pore of that italicization. He started every game in his first nine seasons in the league, 144 in a row.

As CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones noted, "the Walton-Penner group took over on Aug. 9 and got this deal done within the first 4 weeks of ownership." "In ...

"On our first diligence trip in May here, one of the first people we ran into the hallway when Rob [Walton], Carrie [Walton Penner], and I were here was Russell," Penner added.

The winningest quarterback in NFL history through his first 10 seasons, Wilson is set to begin his first season with the Broncos.

In 2022, Wilson is likely to become the 14th player in NFL history with at least 300 career regular-season touchdown passes.

The reported extension pays Russell Wilson an average salary of $49-million a year and keeps him in Denver through the 2028 season.

Wilson’s 113 victories, including one in Super Bowl 48 over the Broncos, are the most for a quarterback in his first 10 NFL seasons. Star safety Justin Simmons said when he heard of Wilson’s new deal, “the first thing I thought of was: well deserved. “Right away, we got a sense of how positive he is as a leader.
