It's the end of an era in Seattle, as the Seahawks have traded quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. This isn't easy for fans to take, as Wilson has meant so much to the city.

In his first public comments, Wilson delivered a short, but quite sweet message to the Seattle faithful. It's clear leaving town is going to be tough for him.

Wilson helped Seattle win the Super Bowl in February of 2014. He'll always be a Seattle legend for that. It's going to be tough for people all over Washington to see Wilson in a Denver jersey.
