Russell Wilson, Broncos Agree To Terms On Five-Year, $245M Contract Extension
Dallas Cowboys Sunday At 8:20 P.M.
"Broncos Country, let's sign." -- Russell Wilson (probably).
Wilson agreed to terms on a five-year, $245 million extension with the Denver Broncos, including $165 mil- lion guaranteed, NFL Net- work Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday, per sources.
The quarterback had two seasons remaining on his
deal signed in Seattle, so the extension ties him to Denver for the next seven years.
After shelling out players and draft picks to acquire Wilson from the Seattle Sea- hawks in March, the plan was always to extend Wilson. Sides waited for the new Wal- ton-Penner ownership group to be approved and weigh in before striking the long-term contract.

TOM BRADY AND DAK PRESCOTT
Recently Cut
The Tampa Bay Bucca- neers and Dallas Cowboys open things up with the Week 1 Sunday night game. Kickoff in the Sept. 11 game at AT&T Stadium is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). The Goat Tom Brady vs the ris- ing superstar Dak Prescott.
The 2021 Buccaneers went 13-4, won the NFC South and then won a playoff game before exiting in the di- visional round. The Bucs scored 31 points in their sea- son-opening game last year — against the Cowboys — and would go on to tally 30-plus
points in 9 more game en route to logging the NFL’s 2nd-best scoring average (30.1 PPG).
The Cowboys went 12-5, won the AFC East before bowing out to the San Fran- cisco 49ers in an NFC Wild- Card battle. The team’s 31.2 PPG led the league. The Dal- las defense was also strong, especially so in the middle of the 2021 campaign.
The Cowboys finished 7th in scoring defense, allowing 21.1 PPG.
Sentinel pick: Bucs will beat the Cowboys, 27-24.
Buccaneers' Wide Receiver Claimed by Houston Texans
TYLER JOHNSON
The Houston Texans have claimed wide receiver Tyler Johnson off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Johnson was the most surprising cut the Bucs made as they whittled down their roster from 80 players to 53 prior to Tuesday’s deadline.
A fifth-round pick out of Minnesota in the 2020 NFL draft, Johnson has shown flashes of potential through- out his two seasons in Tampa Bay, but also struggled with drops and consistency.
The Bucs moved on from Johnson despite the fact that he led the team in receiv- ing during the 2022 presea- son. He’ll now get a fresh start in Houston with former Bucs head coach Lovie Smith.
