"mortgaging" your future is what they call this. And I hate it when teams do it.

Wilson is 33. Used to be about the end of a QB career, but now we see some elites nearing 40 before retiring.

The Broncos are also giving up their backup QB Drew Lock. Good player but not a bad loss. Shelby Harris also given away, a decent defensive end. Not too bad here either. Noah Fant. He's gonna be a great one IMO, and has only played 2 years thus far as a TE.

But damn, then they also toss away 2 first round picks. That alone is huge. First round players are where all of the potential elites come from. Then also two 2nd round picks, where also will be some great players left. And also a 5th round.

That's a HUGE HUGE loss for one player - which may or may not bring you to the playoffs or more.
