Russell Wilson's blockbuster trade to the Denver Broncos took the NFL world by storm earlier in the offseason. A trade of seismic proportions which saw the Broncos trade away quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, 2022 second-round pick, 2023 second-round pick, fifth-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks, sees the franchise enter win-now mode.

While adjusting to a new playbook might be difficult, it doesn't does help when you have a NFL Hall of Famer to guide you through the process. In a recent video posted by Wilson, him and former Broncos star Peyton Manning were spotted studying tape ahead of next season. This of course got NFL fans talking.

One fan felt that this was the best situation the quarterback could find himself in following his disappointing campaign with the Seattle Seahawks last season.

Another Broncos fan was ecstatic to see the legendary quarterbacks discuss how they can improve the side's offense heading into next season.

Another fan noted that the two quarterback greats teaming up could spell trouble for NFL defenses.

While most were praising the duo for getting together to study film, one NFL fan couldn't believe that Manning so easily forgave the quarterback after suffering a devastating loss at the hands of the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII.

While Broncos fans all around were rejoicing the development, one Seahawks fan made sure to extend her support to her beloved franchise's former talisman.
