Who did the Broncos trade?

Summary

Denver Broncos have been making some significant moves in the NFL recently. They released Brandon McManus with a Post-June 1 designation, traded Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks, and cut players like Graham Glasgow, Ronald Darby, and Chase Edmonds. The Broncos have a history of making bold trades, as seen when they traded for John Elway by giving up Chris Hinton, Mark Herrmann, and a first-round pick. Several players are leaving the Broncos, including Ryan James, Zac Hosking, Jake Turpin, Albert Kelly, and Tyrone Roberts. The decision to cut McManus was due to salary cap issues. In the trade for Wilson, the Broncos gave up Noah Fant, Shelby Harris, Drew Lock, multiple draft picks, and more. They also made a trade for Sean Payton, sending draft picks to the Saints in exchange for the renowned coach. John Elway, after a long and successful career, is amicably parting ways with the Broncos. The team also made a trade with Seattle for a draft pick. Elway himself missed out on a huge opportunity to invest in the Broncos, as his stake in the team would have been worth $930 million today.
