A “couple of teams” have inquired on Russell Wilson, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. However, the Seahawks have turned those suitors away, because they have no interest in trading their franchise quarterback.

It’s no surprise that the Seahawks have rejected calls on the future Hall of Famer. The quarterback carousel has caused Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff to trade places, and others could be on the move in the coming weeks, but Wilson is staying put. There could be other options for the ambitious teams seeking Seattle’s star still, including Eagles QB Carson Wentz and Raiders signal caller Derek Carr.
Clubs have put out feelers on Wilson in the past, but those talks didn’t get too far. One of those conversations took place in 2018, when the Browns considered swapping the No. 1 or No. 4 overall pick for him. Wilson was only 29 at the time, yet he was long established as one of the game’s top QBs. To even consider moving him, the Seahawks would have wanted an offer including both picks.
Wilson, 33 in November, set a new personal watermark with 40 passing touchdowns last year en route to yet another Pro Bowl selection. He also registered 4,212 passing yards in 2020 — seven shy of a new career high.
Mans isn’t going anywhere
another filler story by a reporter with nothing real to report on
You’re a piece of garbage.
come again?
wow triggered much?
after the Stafford debacle I’m surprised they let him even do these filler stories
I’m confused. This is literally the information we all come to this site for, no? It’s a trade rumor. And one that originated from very reputable sources in Rapoport and NFL.com. It seems unlikely, but context of quarterback movement from the article being cited, it’s worth mentioning.
Seahawks should trade him. They won’t win another Super Bowl while he’s QB. Tom
Brady being the exception no other “Franchise” QB has won the Super Bowl making “Franchise” money. You can even argue TB didn’t make franchise money. The salary cap does a good job leveling the playing field.
Peyton Manning
JF83, imo later this off-season he’ll restructure his contract to help the team. Personally I think Bobby and maybe even Dunlap will similarly help the Hawks by ‘shuffling’ their deals in order to help the team fill its needs
Biden and 2 7th rounders should get it done.
Something tells me buyers remorse might set in if they trade for Biden bwhahaha
This is a whole new level of reaching.
At this point, every QB in the league is drawing interest. Just like last year and the year before. Nothing new.
“Teams are calling about Patrick Mahomes but up until now their efforts have been rebuffed”
Why the hell is this even a story. So dumb
Talk about a nothing burger of a story. What a waste of time
Nothing burgers are the least interesting kind of burgers.
better than nothing.
I’d take deshaun Watson for him all day.
absolutely
Agreed! Swap straight up. Not sure what the cap hit would be but if Hawks can keep their core they could be favored.
So is Patrick Mahomes. They both have the same chance of being traded, 0%.
I would take Jags two firsts and a third for him. Seattle will need to shore up OL though. They need to do that anyway. In reality they will trade away their second rnd pick for a couple more.
Pro Hockey Rumors should now do Connor McDavid trade rumor articles at this point it’s getting so ridiculous. Hey, I would like to buy the Eagles. I’m a billion dollars short of being a billionaire, but now I expect to read an article saying “mystery person in talks to buy the Eagles.”
Big news Zach! I’m hearing that multiple teams have inquired about exhuming the remains of Johnny Unitas for a title run next year. I can’t believe you haven’t been on top of that yet.
I guess the Colts have their franchise QB now!
Is he a sure fire HOF qb? If so why? I don’t follow his career that closely. He won one sb.
Feel free to do your own research.
It’s amazing at what Zach will pass off as an article here.
Guys, Zach is just doing his job… creating content. Its a fluff piece but still a nice way to kill 2 minutes.
Probably won’t go anywhere, just wish they would give him some protection,would see even greater things out of him if he actually had time to do something with the ball!
From the looks of “sleepy” Wilson at the Super Bowl, they need to put him on a diet first
