Getting Russell Wilson over to the Denver Broncos was a little complicated, but the details of the trade could work. If not, you might have to force a trade in Madden 22.

Once we added him to the team, we began our simulation in Franchise Mode. The opening game had the Denver Broncos against the New York Jets and the Broncos easily won, 33-0. We took no part in playing the game so we had no influence on the outcome.
