27. Less than two months later, the Broncos completed arguably the biggest trade of the 2022 offseason. In a deal with the Seattle Seahawks, the Broncos sent Drew Lock, Noah Fant, Shelby Harris, and five draft picks to the Seahawks in exchange for star quarterback Russell Wilson and a fourth-round selection. Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler, had spent the last ten seasons with the Seahawks before being traded to the Broncos. In early June, the Broncos, after being owned by the Pat Bowlen estate for the last three seasons, were approached by a consortium led by billionaire Walmart heir S. Robson Walton to purchase the team. On August 9, the sale of the team was unanimously approved by the NFL's team owners for a price of $4.65 billion, the largest-ever value of a professional sports team at the time of a sale. In addition, Walton brought along several high-ranking individuals to be a part of the ownership group, most notably former United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and 7-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton. The team entered the 2022 season with high expectations, however, the season began with a loss to Wilson's former team in the Seahawks. The Broncos won their next two games to start out 2–1, which tied them for the top spot in their division, but from there the team struggled massively; they fell into a 4-game losing streak to fall to 2–5. The team defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars to improve to 3–5, but again fell into another losing streak, losing 5 straight games to fall to 3–10. Notably, the offense was criticized for their poor performances, including a 9–12 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts, a 9–16 loss to the New York Jets, and a 9–10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. They defeated the Arizona Cardinals to snap their 5-game losing streak, but the following week were defeated in blowout fashion during a Christmas Day game against the Los Angeles Rams, 14–51, to fall to 4–11. Following the loss, head coach Nathaniel Hackett was fired and replaced with senior assistant Jerry Rosburg. Team records The Broncos all-time regular season record (as of the conclusion of the 2018 season) including AFL games is 476–414–10. Their record since joining the NFL in 1970 is 437–317–6. Their all-time playoff record is 20–18. John Elway is the Broncos all-time leading passer, with 300 touchdowns and 51,475 yards passing. Peyton
