The Denver Broncos have been in the news recently, because the team’s ownership changed hands. Sadly, that meant Kanye West and Antonio Brown couldn’t buy the team, but now Broncos fans know their quarterback isn’t taking off.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Denver Broncos have sealed the deal to keep Russell Wilson around for even longer. He inked a massive five-year contract worth $245 million, and $165 million of that money is guaranteed.
