What happened: Yahoo NFL examined the March 2022 trade that sent Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks to the Denver Broncos in exchange for quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive tackle Shelby Harris, and a package of draft selections. Denver also acquired a fourth-round selection in the deal, which the franchise used to draft defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike out of Iowa State.

Why it matters: While Denver sought stability at quarterback after Peyton Manning retired, the Broncos later released Wilson after signing him to a multi-year extension. Seattle used the incoming assets to rebuild its roster following an era that featured two Super Bowl appearances, while Uwazurike remains on the Denver defense.

What to watch: The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos are scheduled to meet next with the game currently at 0-0 prior to kickoff.
