The news started auspiciously enough.

And ended awesomely (Seahawks since deleted this clever-but-kinda-bewildering tweet. Luckily, the internet lives forever).

And in between Broncos Country was a mix of complete disbelief to total elation. Brandon Perna basically nailed it.

Willing to bet Jerry Jeudy catches a touchdown in 2022.

I put on my SB hat, pulled him out of school to tell him, and brought him a Broncos hat!
His reaction is hilarious. Don’t worry Broncos Country, at least we’re his 2nd favorite team pic.twitter.com/dZGe5TxDXx
Not only is Russell Wilson an incredible QB, he’s a perfect fit in Nathaniel Hackett’s offense.

George Paton is the best thing to happen to the Broncos since Manning came to Denver. #BroncosCountry pic.twitter.com/SXd5Ia9nfo

Even guys on the team allowed their true thoughts on the QB situation to be revealed.
What a day!

Getting to know George Patton over the past 14 months, I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of his vision for the future of the Denver @Broncos Franchise. Congratulations on the BIG TIME move today in acquiring Russell Wilson

And today we find out that while a diva QB in Green Bay was working the media drama the past two weeks, Wilson and his contingent were quietly working out a deal with the only place he wanted to play.
