Seattle Seahawks Win
Seattle traded QB Russell Wilson and a 2022 fourth-round pick to Denver for two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-rounder, QB Drew Lock, TE Noah Fant, and DL Shelby Harris. Wilson's departure ended the most important quarterback era in Seahawks history and launched a rapid roster reset. Denver absorbed the contract and decline risk, then went 11-19 with Wilson before releasing him after two seasons. Seattle used the haul to replenish premium positions, including the picks that helped add Charles Cross and Devon Witherspoon, while avoiding a full teardown. Winner: Seattle Seahawks, significantly.
