Yikes.No, he isn't worth that, but that is what Denver paid. Somebody must have spread a lot of FOMO to get them to go that high. I think they must have been bidding against two other teams, named rumor and reliable sources.
Around the league the Denver side of the deal is getting praised, time will tell but I think it's a smart move they had to make.
Note that RW has a full no-trade clause and gave Schneider a very short list of teams that he would agree to go to; if all teams were in play the price would have been even higher.
If I was Vic Fangio I would be irate. He puts together one of the best defenses in the league, has to make do with Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater and gets fired. He would have liked a chance with Russell Wilson.

He has been remarkably healthy, the finger injury last year was a fluke, but it definitely had a severe adverse impact on his performance.
