Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson
Other teams are wondering what is going on in Seattle. Maybe the Seahawks are wondering what is going on, too.
Russell Wilson‘s media tour has prompted questions about his future with the team.
That has prompted other teams to reach out to the Seahawks about the quarterback’s availability.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that “more teams have reached out about Russell Wilson, but the Seahawks have shown no inclination to trade their star quarterback, whose media tour continues.”
Wilson’s comments make it clear he isn’t happy with the Seahawks, who reportedly aren’t happy with Wilson’s public comments of dissatisfaction.
His media tour continues Friday on The Ellen Show, so stay tuned.
Winning cures everything, and Wilson and the Seahawks haven’t done much of that in the postseason in recent years.
Wilson hasn’t won a Super Bowl since his second season. He hasn’t been to a Super Bowl since his third season. The Seahawks are only 3-5 in the postseason the past six seasons, failing to advance past the divisional round. [Reply]
Yeah if I was the Bears I'd be all over that. They'd be a legit force.
That said, Wilson has the perfect setup now. They've put him in an offense with guys who are great at running verticals, fades, etc. so he can just chuck it down the field. He's not going to have Lockett and DK Metcalf in these other places. Some other very good WRs like Amari Cooper sure, but that QB/WR group Seattle has is perfect for each other. [Reply]

Will be interesting to see if a new OC does him good. Seattle just hired a pretty intriguing OC. Russell Wilson is a much more talented version of Alex Smith. Is that just who he is, or is that Schottenheimer pulling him down? I still wonder if it's both. People keep talking about his OL sucking but like Alex I think a lot of that is from holding on to the ball because he doesn't have the aggressiveness of mahomes.
Which also begs the question... Considering he's one of the most slippery qbs out there, how good will he still be when he loses his legs. He can make all the throws. But is he willing to be aggressive enough to try them? [Reply]

Ok.
You wanna expand on this one some more? I don't hear that comparison too much. [Reply]
He should add Miami to his list....and they should jump all over that. His preferred teams have to strip themselves to get him if this happens. [Reply]
I'll be honest, really do not want it to be the Raiders. Wilson would instantly make them a contender, and they were already an oddly tough match-up for us last year. [Reply]
I do have to wonder if Paul Allen dying and Carroll becoming the de facto CEO of that team is why he seems so untouchable. Seriously, there is no legitimate reason to keep him around given his constant underachieving, the fact that he's a dinosaur in today's NFL, and the fact that he's pissed off the franchise player.

Carr has been very fucking good for them recently. Not sure how much of an upgrade Wilson would be, especially given the resources it'd take to get him and how that subsequently affects their ability to fix the defense. [Reply]

Wilson is miles beyond Carr. Last drive of the game, Raiders down by 6, which one of those 2 QBs is overwhelmingly more likely to get the job done? Not even close. If Carr can look good playing for that team, Wilson would be all-world. And with that young core of speed receivers? No thanks. [Reply]

And they'd still have no defense. Not even 2018 Mahomes with the cracked out offense could overcome not having a defense.
They're also planning to get rid of both Gabe Jackson and Trent Brown. That OL is going to regress badly. [Reply]
