None whatsoever.

When you consider we would likely have spent a 1st round pick on a QB in the next year or two anyway, this deal looks even better.

And not one of the available QB’s is Russell Wilson.

Maybe this wasn't such a great idea.

At best we would have had a 25% chance of hitting on a QB in the draft.

Russ is a sure thing. No brainer.

What everyone is waiting for is to have the local courts decide they won't press any criminal charges against Watson. That eliminates jail time. The 21 or 22 suits are civil cases which means Watson may be out of some money, but can still play. The only other obstacle is NFL HQ and whether they feel this results in any suspension (who knows?). But, once that's settled, the team that gets Watson will have him under contract for five more years so his cost is fixed for most of the decade. Now that Rodgers and Wilson are off the table, where will teams go to get a top-flight NFL quarterback? Jimmy G.? Cousins? Teddy Checkdown? You've got Carolina, Washington, Pittsburgh and others who may have to go into 2022 with a career backup or a likely unready rookie if they can't deal for Watson.

Watson is supposed to testify before a Grand Jury on Friday. If he handles that well, most believe there will be no indictment. Then Watson will be traded between April 1st and Draft Day.

From article by Adam Schefter -

Denver acquiring Russell Wilson has nothing to do with the Aaron Rodgers' decision to return to Green Bay. Denver general manager George Paton initiated trade talks with Seattle for Wilson at least two weeks ago, per sources. But in recent days, as trade talks with Seattle heated up, it become clear that Wilson was the Broncos' Plan A. The Broncos and Packers have not discussed a Rodgers trade this offseason, and the trade for Wilson was unrelated to Rodgers' decision to remain in Green Bay.

Well, there is a VERY narrow path.

Still don't know why Seattle would do this - I mean, I think the reason is they didn't want to pay Russ another blockbuster contract as he enters his mid-30s... But that strikes me as arrogance from Pete Carroll who thinks that he won a SB with a QB on a rookie contract once and therefore he can do it again. A few years in QB purgatory and NFL irrelevance will probably have them second guessing this move.

We did give up 3 firsts and a lot more. Fant was a first rounder.
We sold the farm. I hope it works out thats all.
