The latest report suggests that Russell Wilson is not being shopped by the Seattle Seahawks.
It was interesting while it lasted, but it no longer seems like quarterback Russell Wilson will be traded away from the Seattle Seahawks this offseason.
Wilson has spent his entire nine-year NFL career with the team that drafted him in the third round out of Wisconsin by way of North Carolina State. He has already won a Super Bowl and been to another. However, the Seahawks are still chasing the Lombardi Trophy they let slip away from them first-and-goal from the New England Patriots’ one-yard line in Super Bowl 48.
Russell Wilson may have been unhappy in Seattle, but he is not getting traded
The 2020 NFL season for the Seahawks was a tale of two halves. The first half of the season operated under the awesome mantra of “Let Russ Cook”. Wilson was playing at an MVP level. Despite a bad defense backing him up, Seattle was a Super Bowl contender. However, a philosophical was their undoing and former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was fired.
Even though Seattle’s ownership is in a state of flux, the Seahawks have no reason to part ways with their best player, no matter what another team could offer them. Odds are they will never have another quarterback as good as Wilson has been for this long. Without Wilson, Seattle would be just a forgettable NFC franchise tucked away up there in the isolated Pacific Northwest.
Few teams have a quarterback as excellent as Wilson, so why would Seattle trade him?
