Nebraska poured in a combined 10 runs in the fifth and sixth innings, as the Huskers posted a 13-9 victory over Michigan in the conference opener at Hawks Field on Friday night.

The Huskers (9-11, 1-0) scored 13 runs on eight hits and didn't commit an error, while the Wolverines (11-10, 0-1) totaled nine runs on 16 hits and had two errors.

Koty Frank allowed six runs on 10 hits in five innings and struck out nine Wolverines while improving to 2-0 on the season. Jaxon Jelkin pitched 2.2 innings in relief, allowing one run on two hits. Tyler Martin and Chandler Benson teamed up to throw the final 1.1 innings.

Garrett Anglim went 2-for-4 at the plate with two doubles and a career-high six RBI. Six different Huskers had one hit each, while Cam Chick scored a team-high three runs, followed by Max Anderson and Jack Steil with two runs apiece.

Michigan opened the scoring in the first with back-to-back singles, before Jimmy Obertop's RBI double to left center gave the Wolverines a 1-0 lead.

Nebraska responded with two runs on two hits in the bottom of the first to hold a 2-1 advantage after the first inning. Chick reached on a single and Anderson drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch, while Anglim ripped a two-RBI double into the gap in center to cap the two-run inning for the Big Red.

A pair of two-out singles scored Michigan's second run of the game to tie the game at two in the second. Chick was hit by the pitch in the third and later came around to score on Anglim's sacrifice fly, allowing the Huskers to retake the lead at 3-2 after three innings.

After Frank tossed a scoreless third and fourth with four strikeouts, Michigan ripped four consecutive homers in the fifth to snag a three-run lead at 6-3.

The Husker offense erupted for six runs on four hits and a Wolverine error to jump ahead 9-6 after the fifth. Nebraska got within two with Anderson's RBI single up the middle, before Anglim unleashed a bases-clearing three-RBI double into the gap in left to make it a 7-6 lead for the Huskers. The Big Red tacked on two more after Brice Matthews drew a walk with the bases loaded and Steil jogged on home from third after an errant pickoff attempt at second base. 

Nebraska scored four more runs in the sixth after three straight hit-by-pitches with the bases loaded and a Wolverine error stretched the lead to 13-6 with three innings to play.

The Wolverines scored a run in the top of the eighth after a double and two singles plated Michigan's seventh run of the game. Michigan scored two more in the top of the ninth with a solo homer and an RBI double down the left field line, before Benson drew a groundout to clinch the 13-9 win on Friday night.

The Huskers and Wolverines continue the weekend series tomorrow at 2:02 p.m. at Hawks Field. Tomorrow's game will be broadcast live on Nebraska Public Media with Larry Punteney, Jeff Leise and Ana Bellinghausen calling the action.

DENVER (AP) — Firefighters have extinguished a blaze that torched several rows of seats and a suite area at the Denver Broncos’ stadium. The fire broke out on the fourth level at Empower Field at Mile High on Thursday afternoon and spread to the third level, where it burned at least six rows of seats in two sections. Firefighters quickly brought the blaze under control but were trying to determine if it had spread to other areas of the stadium, which seats more than 76,000 people. No injuries were reported, and investigators have not said what caused the fire.

Nebraska Head Coach Scott Frost met with members of the media following Thursday's spring practice. Frost discussed the progress he has seen during the spring.

"There have been noticeable improvements to me on some of the techniques and details and fundamentals," Frost said. "They have been plugging guys into different spots. Every time I look up there is a left tackle playing right guard and a right guard playing left tackle. Guys need to be able to play multiple things so that when we fit it all together we can get the best five guys out there that are ready to do it. I think they are getting a lot of experience with that."

Frost was asked what he has learned about his team this spring.

"I am happy with the leadership right now," he said. "When it is a team-run team it is more powerful then when it is just coaches holding everybody accountable. We had pretty good leadership on defense last year. We had some leaders on offense but they were not really vocal and that has kind of changed. I am pleased with the standard being set."

He also commented on Nebraska's Pro Day performances.

"I am excited about it," Frost said. "We have not had as many draft picks in the last few years as Nebraska is used to having. I think we have a good crop this year. I think there are a couple guys that are climbing the board from what I heard from some scouts. That is always an exciting day to see guys that you have spent three or four or five years with accomplish their dream of playing in the NFL so we will be watching and rooting for all of those guys."

The Huskers will continue their spring practice on Monday. The annual red-white spring game is set for April, 9 at 1 p.m. (CT) with national television coverage by the Big Ten Network.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to Miami for a package of draft picks Wednesday, and the Dolphins are giving the three-time All-Pro wide receiver a $120 million, four-year contract extension that makes Hill the highest-paid player at his position in NFL history.

The Chiefs will get the Dolphins’ first- and second-round picks and their fourth-rounder in this year and fourth- and sixth-round picks next year, along with some much-needed salary cap relief in the latest major NFL trade.

“It’s hard to put into words what Tyreek has meant to Chiefs Kingdom,” Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said. “He’s a special player, one of the best in franchise history. He’s been a large part of our success, including our Super Bowl championship run. This decision was incredibly difficult, but we felt it was a necessary move in the best interest of the team, and also for Tyreek. We wish him the best as he continues his career.”

Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said the extension from Miami includes $72.2 million guaranteed. The value of the deal surpasses the five-year contract that&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/green-bay-packers-las-vegas-raiders-nfl-sports-derek-carr-acadefadd9b7d9bf6493ecc5af760fca">Davante Adams signed after he was traded from Green Bay to Las Vegas</a>&nbsp;last week, which averages $28.5 million and includes $67.5 million guaranteed.

“I’m very excited to be joining the Miami Dolphins and get to work,” Hill said in a statement. “However it’s hard thinking about the memories, people and fans that made my time in Kansas City so great.

“I’ll never forget getting the call in 2016 that my dream to play in the NFL was coming true. I worked hard every day to show my appreciation for you taking a chance on me,” Hill continued. “To the fans, thank you for your support. Playing for you has been one of the greatest things I’ve done in my life.”

The Chiefs had been in discussions with Hill on a contract extension in part because they sought relief from a tight salary cap situation. But talks had stalled over the past few days, and Hill’s representatives requested permission to seek a trade, which came together quickly with multiple teams expressing interest in him.

The deal clears more than $18 million in salary cap space for Kansas City.

Hill appeared to indicate his time with the Chiefs was over more than a week ago, when the six-time Pro Bowl selection tweeted: “we came a long way thank you chiefs kingdom I’m forever indebted.” He also was keenly aware of the market for top wide receivers, retweeting a post about the Jaguars signing Christian Kirk to a four-year, $84 million deal.

It has been a wild NFL offseason when it comes to big names, even though the new league year is just a week old.

The Seahawks traded Russell Wilson to the Broncos, Deshaun Watson ended up in Cleveland, the Falcons sent Matt Ryan to the Colts and Carson Wentz landed with the Commanders — and that’s just quarterbacks. Adams and Kirk found new homes along with fellow wide receiver Amari Cooper, who went from Dallas to Cleveland. And top-tier pass rushers Khalil Mack (Chargers) and Yannick Ngakoue (Colts) also have landed with new teams.

Hill was a controversial pick by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2016 draft, a year after he was accused of punching his girlfriend and got kicked off the team at Oklahoma State. Then, three years ago, prosecutors in suburban Kansas City&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/573d95eda1544879af505008e9bc06bd">declined to charge Hill after an alleged domestic violence incident</a>&nbsp;involving his fiancee and their 3-year-old child.

On the field, though, Hill has surpassed every expectation, giving coach Andy Reid an outlet for his offensive creativity while teaming with Pro Bowl quarterback Patrick Mahomes to form one of the league’s elite pass-catch duos.

Hill helped the Chiefs win back-to-back AFC titles along with their first Super Bowl in 50 years after the 2019 season. He also helped them get back to the conference championship game in January before losing to the Bengals, capping arguably the best year of his career: He had a club-record 111 catches to go with 1,239 yards and nine touchdowns.

In just six seasons, Hill already has 479 catches for 6,630 yards and 56 scores.

“I am happy for Tyreek. He has grown as a man and player here in Kansas City,” Reid said. ”This move will also benefit the Chiefs. We now have cap space and additional draft picks to grow as a football team.”

The trade for Hill is another major move by the Dolphins, who are trying to build around quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and end a streak of five straight years out of the playoffs. They have reached deals with left tackle Terron Armstead, wide receiver Cedrick Wilson and offensive guard Connor Williams, among several others.

The Chiefs have been trying to get younger the past few years, and the possibility that the 28-year-old Hill’s speed could soon decline no doubt gave them pause. They also signed former Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who is 25, to a club-friendly one-year deal last week and are expected to add at least one wide receiver in the draft.

The trade with Miami means Kansas City could do that with two picks in each of the first three rounds. It also gives them significant draft capital the next two years to address other needs, including defensive back and pass rush.

&nbsp; &nbsp;Louisville&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41996">Sam Haiby</a>&nbsp;scored a season-high 20 points while adding six rebounds and three steals, but it was not enough to overcome a frustrating&nbsp;Gonzaga defense in a 68-55 loss to the Bulldogs in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the KFC Yum! Center on Friday afternoon. With the loss, the No. 8 seed Huskers ended their season with a 24-9 overall record. The ninth-seeded Zags, who were the West Coast Conference tournament champions, improved to 27-6 overall and advanced to Sunday's second round. <a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42985">Jaz Shelley</a>&nbsp;added 11 points and four assists for the Huskers despite being shackled with foul trouble for more than two quarters. Shelley knocked down a trio of three-pointers to finish with 82 on the season, tying for fourth on the Husker single-season list. Big Ten Freshman of the Year&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42706">Alexis Markowski</a>&nbsp;nearly notched a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds, while adding a pair of blocks, despite being strapped with foul trouble for three quarters as well.&nbsp; Nebraska, which shattered a school record with 279 three-pointers on the season, hit 9-of-22 (.409) long-range attempts in the game, including a pair from Haiby. But the Huskers went just 9-for-34 (.264) from two-point range against a tough, physical and experienced Gonzaga front line. The Bulldogs outscored Nebraska 32-18 in the paint, including 14-3 on second-chance points in a pair of telling statistics. Gonzaga, which entered the game with a plus-10 rebound margin, out-boarded&nbsp;Nebraska 40-33, despite the Huskers entering the contest with a plus-seven margin on the glass. Kayleigh Truong led Gonzaga with 20 points while adding four assists, but it was Melody Kempton who did the most damage for the Zags at both ends, finishing with 14 points, a team-high eight rebounds, three steals and a block. Kempton grabbed four offensive rebounds for Gonzaga. WCC Sixth Player of the Year Yvonne Ejim added 14 points and six boards off the bench for Gonzaga, while 6-5 forward Anamaria Virjoghe contributed 10 points and a pair of blocks. As a team, Gonzaga hit 26-of-56 shots (.464), compared to 18-of-56 (.321) for the Huskers. The Zags hit just 5-of-17 threes (.294) and lost the turnover battle to Nebraska 14-11. In a back-and-forth first half, Nebraska held multiple five-point leads in the opening quarter thanks to 4-for-7 three-point shooting as a team in the quarter. But it was Gonzaga's first three-pointer of the game in the closing seconds of the period that changed momentum. Nebraska still took a 16-14 lead to the second quarter, but the Bulldogs scored the first seven points of the second quarter including another three-pointer to cap a 10-0 run and take a 21-16 lead less then two minutes into the second period. Nebraska rallied with five straight points from Shelley and a three-pointer from&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42000">MiCole Cayton</a>&nbsp;with 6:20 left in the half to regain a 24-23 lead. However, the Zags scored seven straight points to answer the Husker run and take the biggest lead for either team in the half at 30-24 with 4:19 left. Nebraska kept scrapping, holding Gonzaga to just one field goal in the final 5:30 of the half, before Haiby hit a layup in the closing seconds to cut the Bulldog lead to 33-30 af halftime. Haiby led the Huskers with 12 first-half points on 3-of-5 shooting including a pair of three-pointers. She added four rebounds to help Nebraska on the glass, but it was five offensive rebounds by the Zags in the second quarter that led to 10 second-chance points in the period to sway the scoreboard. Nebraska went 6-for-12 from three-point range in the half and added three free throws from Haiby when she was fouled on a three-pointer late in the half, but the Huskers went just 3-for-13 from two-point range in the half. Shelley added eight points and a pair of assists for the Huskers in the half, but NU finished just 9-for-25 (.360) from the field in the half and just 6-of-13 (.462) at the free throw line. Gonzaga hit 13-of-25 shots (.464), including 3-of-8 threes (.375), while hitting 4-of-7 free throws. The Bulldogs won the first-half rebounding battle, 21-15, but the Huskers held an 8-5 edge in the turnover department in the opening 20 minutes. Kempton led Gonzaga with eight points and five rebounds in the half, while Ejim added eight points and four boards off the bench. The Bulldogs took control out of the gate in the third quarter with a pair of layups and a Kempton bucket in the first 2:35 to push the margin to 39-30. Both Shelley and Markowski also picked up their third fouls during the 6-0 run to start the half. Haiby scored four straight before&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41993">Isabelle Bourne</a>&nbsp;pitched in a layup to trim the margin back to 41-36 with 5:45 left in the quarter, but the Huskers could get no closer. Kempton closed the third with back-to-back baskets to give the Zags their biggest lead of the first 30 minutes at 54-43 heading to the fourth quarter. After&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=42709">Allison Weidner</a>&nbsp;got her lone field goal of the game to open the quarter for Nebraska, Virjoghe extended the Gonzaga lead to 57-45 with a traditional three-point play. Haiby then notched a pair of tough finishes before Markowski drained a three-pointer to pull the Big Red back within 59-52 with 5:25 left. However, Gonzaga answered with a 9-0 run over the next 3:30 before Shelley ended it with a three-pointer for Nebraska's last basket of the season with 1:54 left in the game for the final points of the contest.

Detroit&nbsp;- Husker sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41873">Ridge Lovett</a>&nbsp;(149) ended his stellar run at the 2022 NCAA Championships with a runner-up finish, and the Nebraska wrestling team scored 59.5 points to claim fifth overall.&nbsp; Lovett, the first Husker finalist since Tyler Berger in 2019, faced top-ranked and undefeated Yianni Diakomihalis of Cornell. Diakomihalis scored first with a takedown in Period 1 before Lovett responded with an escape. Diakomihalis then scored three takedowns and an escape and Lovett trailed 9-3. In Period 3, Lovett tallied two escapes, but it was not enough as Diakomihalis claimed the 11-5 victory and his third National Championship title.&nbsp; As a team, the Huskers' fifth-place marks their first Top 5 finish since 2009 and ninth all-time. The Penn State Nittany Lions (131.5 pts) led all teams with five champions. Michigan (95.0 pts) took second place, while Iowa (74.0 pts) and Arizona State (66.5 pts) rounded out the Top 5.&nbsp;&nbsp; Overall, five of the eight Huskers who competed this week earned All-America honors, which ties for the most since 2008.

Story by NU Atheltic CommunicationsDetroit&nbsp;- Husker sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41873">Ridge Lovett</a>&nbsp;(149) ended his stellar run at the 2022 NCAA Championships with a runner-up finish, and the Nebraska wrestling team scored 59.5 points to claim fifth overall.&nbsp; Lovett, the first Husker finalist since Tyler Berger in 2019, faced top-ranked and undefeated Yianni Diakomihalis of Cornell. Diakomihalis scored first with a takedown in Period 1 before Lovett responded with an escape. Diakomihalis then scored three takedowns and an escape and Lovett trailed 9-3. In Period 3, Lovett tallied two escapes, but it was not enough as Diakomihalis claimed the 11-5 victory and his third National Championship title.&nbsp; As a team, the Huskers' fifth-place marks their first Top 5 finish since 2009 and ninth all-time. The Penn State Nittany Lions (131.5 pts) led all teams with five champions. Michigan (95.0 pts) took second place, while Iowa (74.0 pts) and Arizona State (66.5 pts) rounded out the Top 5.&nbsp;&nbsp; Overall, five of the eight Huskers who competed this week earned All-America honors, which ties for the most since 2008. Additionally, Coach Manning has had three or more wrestlers claim this honor in seven of the last eight years.&nbsp; Junior&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41870">Mikey Labriola</a>&nbsp;(174) became the third four-time All-American in Nebraska history, as he joined Husker greats&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/coaches.aspx?rc=7844">Bryan Snyder</a>&nbsp;and James Green.&nbsp; Senior&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41882">Eric Schultz</a>&nbsp;(197) made his fourth NCAA Championships appearance this year and became a two-time All-American. He finished his Nebraska career with a 103-42 record. Fellow senior&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41871">Christian Lance</a>&nbsp;capped his career with the Huskers' first All-American honor for the heavyweight since Tolly Thompson in 1997. Lance recorded his 100th career victory at the Championships and finished with a 101-41 career record.&nbsp; The fifth and final All-American of the week was sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41880">Peyton Robb</a>&nbsp;(157) who climbed the consolation bracket and garnered NCAA All-American status for the first time.&nbsp; Detroit&nbsp;–2022 NCAA Championships&nbsp; Detroit, Mich. | Little Caesar's Arena&nbsp;&nbsp; Individual Results&nbsp; 141 pounds: #19&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41879">Chad Red Jr.</a>&nbsp;(3-2) DNP First Round: #19&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41879">Chad Red Jr.</a>&nbsp;(NEB) dec. #14 Dresden Simon (CMU), 6-5 Second Round: #3 Sebastian Rivera (RUT) dec. #19&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41879">Chad Red Jr.</a>&nbsp;(NEB), SV-1 7-6 Cons.

Huskers Secure Top Five Finish at NCAA Championships

Detroit&nbsp;–&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41873">Ridge Lovett</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41870">Mikey Labriola</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41882">Eric Schultz</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41871">Christian Lance</a>&nbsp;advance to the 2022 NCAA Championship quarterfinals after claiming victories in their respective second round matches on Thursday evening. All eight qualifying Nebraska wrestlers remain alive as the team ends the first day in seventh place with 14.5 points.&nbsp;

Lovett (149) was the first Husker to secure his spot in Friday's quarterfinals, defeating Campbell's #7 Joshua Heil by decision, 8-1. Lovett scored a takedown and four nearfall points in Period 2 to hold the 4-1 advantage. In the final period, Lovett recorded four more points en route to his first quarterfinal appearance.&nbsp;

Labriola (174) will make his third NCAA Championship quarterfinal as he advanced with a 3-2 decision over Purdue's #25 Gerrit Nijenhuis. The conference rematch went in favor of Labriola this time as the junior scored three points in Period 2 to secure the win.&nbsp;

Schultz (197) also earned a spot in the quarterfinals as he defeated #14 Greg Bulsak of Rutgers. The pair wrestled a scoreless first period before Schultz tallied a takedown in each of the final two periods to claim the 4-3 victory by decision.&nbsp;

Rounding out the group as the fourth and final Husker to qualify for the quarterfinals was Lance at heavyweight. Lance faced Air Force's #5 Wyatt Hendrickson in the Round of 16 and the two were tied 0-0 after Period 1. The senior then scored first in the second period with an escape and tallied two takedowns in the third on his way to the 5-4 decision.&nbsp;

<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41879">Chad Red Jr.</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41880">Peyton Robb</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41887">Taylor Venz</a>&nbsp;fell in their respective second round bouts, but will wrestle back through the consolation bracket on Friday. Red Jr. (141) managed to come from behind and tie up his match with a pair of takedowns in Period 3 but was unable to come out on top in overtime against #3 Sebastian Rivera of Rutgers. Robb (157) held the 5-4 advantage over Lehigh's #7 Josh Humphreys to start the final two minutes, but Humphreys attacked late and grabbed the 8-5 decision. At 184, Venz fell to Ohio State's #7 Kaleb Romero, 5-1. Venz scored first with an escape in Period 2 before Romero scored five-straight points to send the Husker to wrestlebacks.&nbsp;

<a href="https://huskers.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=41888">Bubba Wilson</a>&nbsp;(165) ended the night by advancing in the consolation bracket. Wilson earned a 3-1 decision over Gardner-Webb's #22 Rodrick Mosley in the first consolation round, scoring a takedown and an escape to earn his first win of the day.

Session III quarterfinals and consolation matches get started Friday at 10 a.m. (CT). Semifinals will be contested starting at 7 p.m. (CT).&nbsp; &nbsp;

Four Huskers Advance in NCAA Quarterfinals

Efry Cervantes lined the first pitch he saw through the right side for a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth, giving the Huskers a 6-5 come-from-behind victory over New Mexico State on Wednesday afternoon at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park.

Nebraska (7-9) won its third consecutive game after totaling six runs on five hits and two errors, while the Aggies (9-6) had five runs on nine hits and two errors.

Drew Christo made his first collegiate start, allowing one hit and walking three batters in 0.2 innings. Jackson Brockett allowed two runs on three hits and posted three strikeouts in 1.1 innings of work. Braxton Bragg tossed the next 4.1 innings for the Huskers, surrendering three runs, one earned, on four hits and striking out three. Tyler Martin and CJ Hood combined to throw 1.2 shutout innings, while Emmett Olson improved to 1-2 on the year after pitching the final inning.

Cam Chick went 1-for-3 at the plate with a two-run homer to lead the Big Red. Gabe Swansen, Max Anderson, Garrett Anglim and Cervantes tallied one hit apiece, while Griffin Everitt drew a team-high two walks.

New Mexico State took a two-run lead in the top of the second with back-to-back RBI singles by Brandon Dieter and Gunner Antillon.

Nebraska cut into the Aggie lead with a pair of runs on one hit and an NMSU error. Core Jackson reached on a fielding error and Anderson singled down the left field line to put two runners on with one out. A wild pitch advanced Jackson and Anderson to second and third before a second wild pitch brought home Jackson. Brice Matthews followed with a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Anderson and bringing the Huskers within one after four.

Back-to-back singles by Logan Gallina and Nolan Funke put runners on first and third with one out in the seventh for the Aggies before scoring on a pair of Huskers errors to stretch the lead to 5-2.

Josh Caron reached on throwing error with one out in the bottom of the eighth before Chick smacked a two-run home run to right to bring the Huskers within one.

Two straight walks put runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the ninth before Anglim's RBI single through the right side tied the game at five. With runners on second and third, the Aggies chose to intentionally walk Chick to load the bases for Cervantes. Cervantes ripped the first pitch he saw to right field, scoring Matthews and giving the Huskers a 6-5 walk-off victory.

Nebraska continues play at home after the midweek series with the Aggies, welcoming Texas A&amp;M-Corpus Christi to Hawks Field at Haymarket Park for a three-game series on Friday-Sunday, March 18-20.

NPHS Spring Media Day - AUDIO

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — It’s Von Miller time in Buffalo. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and coming off his second Super Bowl title agreed to a six-year contract with the Bills on the opening day of free agency. Miller is an 11-year NFL veteran who spent his first 10-plus seasons in Denver before being traded to the Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams last season. At 32, Miller brings a veteran presence to a young group of linebackers made up of Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano. The Bills also announced reaching a one-year agreement to sign tight O.J. Howard, who spent his first five seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Bills signing former Bronco Von Miller

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Russell Wilson flashed that mile-wide smile and embraced the prospect of playing in the loaded AFC and in the shadows of John Elway and Peyton Manning.

“I want to win three to four more Super Bowls. That's the plan, that's the goal, that's the mission, that's the vision," Wilson declared Wednesday after the NFL signed off on the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/seattle-seahawks-denver-broncos-nfl-business-sports-c9fe3ed6d40314d91eec74404d37573e">biggest blockbuster trade of the offseason</a>.

“So, let’s do it. Why not?” the former Seahawks QB added as he scanned the auditorium where Elway himself, now a consultant to general manager George Paton, stood smiling in the back.

The deal agreed to last week sent the star 33-year-old quarterback from Seattle to the Rocky Mountains for a massive package of picks and players.

Wilson said he picked Manning's brain about making a mid-career transition, about schools in Denver, and about the organization once it became apparent he'd get his wish and move to Colorado for the second — and he hopes, final — chapter of his stellar career.

Although the trade couldn't be finalized until the start of the new league year Wednesday, Wilson and his wife, R&amp;B singer-songwriter Ciara, already have visited sick children in Denver just like the couple used to do in Seattle.

Wilson said he aims to play 10 to 12 more seasons and finish his career in Denver after a fruitful decade in Seattle, where the Seahawks made it clear in congratulatory Twitter posts Wednesday that Wilson was the one who had&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Seahawks/status/1504191589622575107?s=20&amp;t=bW_qa551n1RtQivenBUz6w">asked for the breakup</a>.

“Yeah, I didn't initiate it," Wilson retorted. “It was definitely mutual.”

He also insisted he harbors no ill will toward his former team.

“Hard feelings? No. I had 10 incredible years” there, Wilson said. "... And what I do know is that some of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, from Manning to Tom Brady, Drew Brees, have gone from one place to another, guys I’ve always known and admired. So, in this moment, I’m looking forward to the opportunity to continue to grow and learn.”

Wilson said he believes he's not even halfway through his NFL career because of his work ethic and focus on health and nutrition. He didn't miss a game until last year, when a fractured right middle finger sidelined him for a month after he'd started his first 165 games, including 16 in the playoffs.

Wilson becomes the first QB to join the team he beat in the Super Bowl, having vanquished the Broncos 43-8 after the 2013 season. Now he wants to follow Manning and Brady in winning a Super Bowl with his second team.

“Their best years are 30- to 40-plus range,” Wilson said. “You see Tom coming back, Drew as long as he played, you know. So, to me, I ain't even got started yet.”

Wilson isn't just playing in the shadow of great quarterbacks in a QB-crazed city, he's joining an AFC that's loaded with the likes of Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. He's also now part of the division's Mount Rushmore of Quarterbacks in the AFC West that also features Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Derek Carr.

“Well, first of all, why would you want it any other way?” Wilson said. “I want to compete at the highest level. So, I think first of all, we need to talk about John Elway, about Peyton Manning.”

He recounted going to the Manning passing camp as a high schooler and meeting Manning in Denver on a visit before the Seahawks drafted him out of Wisconsin in 2012 — after he decided to quit baseball (he was once in the Colorado Rockies' minor league system) and focus on football.

“So, those kind of memories, it's an honor, it's a tradition, it's a place of excellence,” Wilson said. “And that's the standard that I have to bring every day. That's the only thing I know.”

And as far as the AFC West goes, Wilson said, “I want to play with the best. I don't fear anything.”

Wilson has two years left on his contract that will pay him $24 million in 2022, although the Broncos might give him a new megadeal before the season even begins, one that could double his annual salary.

In Seattle, GM John Schneider said it had become apparent to the Seahawks it would be difficult to sign Wilson to an extension beyond his current contract that is set to expire after 2023.

“I don’t know if those were the exact words," Schneider said, "but we were under the impression that there wouldn’t be a long-term extension.”

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he never wanted to lose Wilson but “we're surprised at how good a deal came to us.”

That deal includes first- and second-round picks this year and next along with QB Drew Lock, DE Shelby Harris and TE Noah Fant.

“It wasn’t about (a soured) relationship. It was about opportunity," Carroll said. "... He’s seen a lot of great players and great athletes do a lot of great things by making that move somewhere in their career, whether it was the quarterbacks that we know of, what happens in the NBA, baseball guys do it.

"I think it intrigued him, and so it made it available after a long discussion, a lot of time together and all that, that we were eye to eye, OK, let’s go down this road and see what happens.”

No. I had 10 incredible years” there, Wilson said. "... And what I do know is that some of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, from Manning to Tom Brady, Drew Brees, have gone from one place to another, guys I’ve always known and admired. So, in this moment, I’m looking forward to the opportunity to continue to grow and learn.”Wilson said he believes he's not even halfway through his NFL career because of his work ethic and focus on health and nutrition. He didn't miss a game until last year, when a fractured right middle finger sidelined him for a month after he'd started his first 165 games, including 16 in the playoffs.Wilson becomes the first QB to join the team he beat in the Super Bowl, having vanquished the Broncos 43-8 after the 2013 season. Now he wants to follow Manning and Brady in winning a Super Bowl with his second team.“Their best years are 30- to 40-plus range,” Wilson said. “You see Tom coming back, Drew as long as he played, you know. So, to me, I ain't even got started yet.”Wilson isn't just playing in the shadow of great quarterbacks in a QB-crazed city, he's joining an AFC that's loaded with the likes of Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. He's also now part of the division's Mount Rushmore of Quarterbacks in the AFC West that also features Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Derek Carr.“Well, first of all, why would you want it any other way?” Wilson said. “I want to compete at the highest level. So, I think first of all, we need to talk about John Elway, about Peyton Manning.”He recounted going to the Manning passing camp as a high schooler and meeting Manning in Denver on a visit before the Seahawks drafted him out of Wisconsin in 2012 — after he decided to quit baseball (he was once in the Colorado Rockies' minor league system) and focus on football.“So, those kind of memories, it's an honor, it's a tradition, it's a place of excellence,” Wilson said. “And that's the standard that I have to bring every day. That's the only thing I know.”And as far as the AFC West goes, Wilson said, “I want to play with the best. I don't fear anything.”Wilson has two years left on his contract that will pay him $24 million in 2022, although the Broncos might give him a new megadeal before the season even begins, one that could double his annual salary.In Seattle, GM John Schneider said it had become apparent to the Seahawks it would be difficult to sign Wilson to an extension beyond his current contract that is set to expire after 2023.“I don’t know if those were the exact words," Schneider said, "but we were under the impression that there wouldn’t be a long-term extension.”Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he never wanted to lose Wilson but “we're surprised at how good a deal came to us.”That deal includes first- and second-round picks this year and next along with QB Drew Lock, DE Shelby Harris and TE Noah Fant.“It wasn’t about (a soured) relationship. It was about opportunity," Carroll said. "... He’s seen a lot of great players and great athletes do a lot of great things by making that move somewhere in their career, whether it was the quarterbacks that we know of, what happens in the NBA, baseball guys do it."I think it intrigued him, and so it made it available after a long discussion, a lot of time together and all that, that we were eye to eye, OK, let’s go down this road and see what happens.”

Wilson wants to play 12 more seasons, win 3-4 more Super Bowls
