Russell Wilson is making a big move.

The 33-year-old NFL player is part of a trade making headlines on Tuesday (March 8), via TMZ.

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly agreed to trade the quarterback to the Denver Broncos, via the NFL’s Tom Pelissero.

“Blockbuster: The #Seahawks and #Broncos have agreed in principle on a trade sending nine-time Pro Bowl QB Russell Wilson to Denver for a massive haul, including multiple first-round draft picks, plus additional picks and players, per sources,” he wrote on Twitter.

The Broncos are reportedly sending three players, Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, and defensive lineman Shelby Harris, plus two first-round picks, two scond-round picks and a fifth-round pick to Seattle in exchange for Russell Wilson and a fourth-round pick, via TMZ.

Russell Wilson, who is married to Ciara, was initially picked by the Seahawks in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He won one Super Bowl with the team and made nine Pro Bowls, securing a 104-53-1 record in 10 seasons.
