Russell Wilson plays for the Broncos. If you’re gonna lock a page for editing, you also gotta have your shit together guys. 2601:283:4B80:5760:BD6F:1FE8:64C5:30E6 (talk) 13:35, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Did they? Funny, because The trade is pending a physical and Wilson waiving his no-trade clause, and it cannot be finalized until the new league year begins March 16. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:01, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, Wilson waived his no trade, put broncos on his Twitter pfp. He is a bronco. 2601:244:4001:3720:856A:C6D9:236D:E218 (talk) 17:31, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Not done for now: Per above, wait till it's official. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:16, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

I get it that the trade has yet to be formalised but there should at least be a line in the lead stating something along the lines that 'On 8 March 2022 multiple sports media outlets reported that Seattle had agreed a trade with the Denver Broncos' or words to that effect accompanied by the multiple published sources accross the media.

Misplaced Pages us a little behind on this; I note even Overthecap have him listed as a Broncos player.

146.200.170.253 (talk) 16:10, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Do you also think that there should be a sentence about the trade to the Bears that everyone insisted on adding last year? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:34, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages is not "behind on this". You misunderstand our purpose. We are an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:34, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

They’ve already have official sources, the NFL even said it 2600:387:F:A17:0:0:0:7 (talk) 17:53, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

NFL.com says NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday the Seahawks and Broncos agreed in principle ... The trade is pending a physical and Wilson waiving his no-trade clause, and it cannot be finalized until the new league year begins March 16.

See the template at the top of the page in question. When an editor has a reliable source, the page will be updated with the team. Happy Editing--IAm Chaos 22:38, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

The NFL and Russell Wilson themselves confirmed it to be official. Stop citing some BS technicality and just change the page — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeffTheToaster (talk • contribs) 11:42, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

New Trade confirmed by AP sources

AP sources have confirmed the Russell Wilson trade to Denver, and I believe this should be counted as enough evidence to confirm the trade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zainnq (talk • contribs) 03:10, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

What part of The trade is pending a physical and Wilson waiving his no-trade clause, and it cannot be finalized until the new league year begins March 16 is unclear? – Muboshgu (talk) 04:00, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

"Official Sources" and Trade Deadlines

In the interest of saving headache for many people that want to edit Russ onto the Broncos (and also Muboshgu who has to remind everyone the trade doesn't occur until the 16th), it should be noted that "official sources" from the team do not announce things until the transactions officially occur on that date. This means that any general announcements for the trade, while we know 99.9% are going to happen, do not count as sources that can be reliably cited on Misplaced Pages. These include Adam Schefter's tweets or ESPN articles.

For reference, please see the Matthew Stafford talk page. During the Jared Goff trade, many people were arguing for the page to be changed, despite the trade not actually taking place until months after the fact. I thought it was important to note that the teams had not announced the trade because the transaction hadn't occurred yet. Once the Rams and Lions had announced these trades, they would officially count as credible sources, and the pages would be able to be changed.

Barring some weird event, Russell Wilson is going to Denver. Don't change the pages haphazardly because that changes the credibility of the Misplaced Pages pages, then you get things like Tom Brady retiring before he announced it.Beanboozler (talk) 14:59, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

If it's not officially official, then no he's not. That's the definition of "not officially official". – Muboshgu (talk) 21:16, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

“Credibility”

Lol one of the moderators on here had the audacity to say “it jeopardizes the credibility of Misplaced Pages”. Nothing about Misplaced Pages is credible. 2601:283:8401:1B60:90B5:DC3A:2814:8209 (talk) 21:41, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Trade

Guys, come tf on. At this point, not listing Russell Wilson as a Bronco could be considered false information. If the NFL itself isnt a reliable enough source for you, idk what is. Idgaf if theres a physical pending and you need to be "technical" about everything, its been all but confirmed the hes a Bronco for days now. Ik youre probably tired of hearing requests like this, but if you change the page like literally everyone is telling you to, you wont get anymore JeffTheToaster (talk) 11:36, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Russell Wilson Broncos Trade

You can now officially change which team he is on since it’s March 16th the new league year started 71.38.106.38 (talk) 09:58, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

False. The league year doesn't end up 3:59:59pm Eastern Standard Time. Technically things can still change between now and then so proper protocol is to wait until after 4pm and for the team to announce it. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:45, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

This is why Misplaced Pages sucks. Y'all care more about minute details no one cares about rather that giving out factual information. If you bozos dont trust Ian Rapaport, Adam Schefter, the NFL or Russell Wilson him-fucking-self, than who do y'all trust? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JeffTheToaster (talk • contribs) 08:12, March 16, 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry you have no patience, that must be tough. Both of those guys have been wrong plenty of times, which you would know if you follow NFL reporters closely. Deals also fall through all the time — Hey man im josh (talk) 15:16, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Just wanted to drop by and share a recent example of why this rule exists.

(Schefter) Former Washington RB J.D. McKissic intends to sign a two-year, $7 million deal with upside to $8 with the Buffalo Bills, per source.

(Schefter) RB J.D. McKissic - who intended to sign a two-year, $7 million deal with the Buffalo Bills - changed his mind and is instead returning to Washington for the same compensation, per sources.

Just saw this news pop up and thought of you. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:50, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

And didn't Randy Gregory flip flop at the last moment? – Muboshgu (talk) 18:07, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

I am reminded of a bit of dialogue from Julius Caesar (play), Caesar: "The Ides of March have come." Soothsayer: Aye, Caesar, but not gone." Chill out and wait for the teams to announce it. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

We trust when multiple reliable sources—especially ones where reporters name their sources—report the event as a done deal. We don't gaze into the crystal ball to report expected future trades, and we don't rely on single sources that use anonymous sources, whether it be Adam Schefter or TMZ. —C.Fred (talk) 15:57, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Change the damn page already

Alright, dorks. Its March 16th. Its 4 o'clock. Both Denver and Seattle have acknowledged the trade. You got everything you wanted. Are you finally going to do what everyone has been telling you to do since last week? Or do you have more BS excuses and technicalities to cite? JeffTheToaster (talk) 19:59, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

JeffTheToaster, if you can't assume good faith and maintain civility in the future, I will block you. Got it? – Muboshgu (talk) 20:27, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

I'd go ahead and block for being uncivil, check his previous edits. ~ Dissident93 21:53, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

How long until page is unprojected?

How long until the page will be unprojected so non extended confirmed users and administrators can edit again? If i recall correctly when Tom Brady first retired, the page was projected and a week later, it went back. How long does it take for pages like these? Just curious. MichaelFansz (talk) 20:35, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

MichaelFansz, the protection logs show that Eagles247 applied a three-year autoconfirmed protection on March 1 and then Bagumba upgraded it to ECP on March 9, with an expiration of tomorrow, at which point the page will be fully unprotected. I believe we should keep the autoconfirmed protection in place. With the hopes that they approve, I'll reduce it to autoconfimred right now as the transaction is now official. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:44, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

We can always readjust if it's still not stable e.g. jersey numbers, etc.—Bagumba (talk) 21:45, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
