Wilson's extremely high salary was hurting the Seahawks' ability to afford good players in other positions. Denver gave up way too much in a futile attempt to become a power team once again. Bad drafting has prevented them from having quarterback, and trading for one that's getting old will only be a temporary band aid to fix a more permanent problem.
