Welcome back to Seattle, Russell Wilson.

The star quarterback returned to Lumen Field on Monday night for his first regular season game as a Bronco — and more importantly first game since his split with the Seahawks.

Now on the other side of the Seattle’s famed home crowd, Wilson was showered with boos upon taking the field ahead of the teams’ “Monday Night Football” showdown.

After trading Wilson and a fourth-round pick to the Broncos in exchange for Drew Lock, Noah Fant, Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick this offseason in a league-altering blockbuster, reports emerged of a tenuous divorce between the Seahawks and their legend.

Dating back to 2017, Wilson and his camp were “f–ing pissed” by the team’s interest and intent to pursue quarterback prospects in the draft, according to ESPN. The marriage continued to sour amid Seattle’s reliance on the run game, per the report.

Wilson notably delivered the Seahawks their first Super Bowl in 2013 and brought them to another a year later. He didn’t record fewer than nine wins until last season when they finished 7-10.

None of that seemed to matter at his old stomping yards.
