Despite all the speculation, the Seahawks have no plans to trade Russell Wilson this offseason, according to team sources who spoke with NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo. However, the future of longtime head coach Pete Carroll remains in question.
Wilson went on record this week to reaffirm his loyalty to Seattle and his desire to win more championships for the Seahawks. But, in the past, he has been a vocal critic of the team’s offensive line issues. Just last year, Wilson told the Seahawks that he would accept trades to the Raiders, Bears, Cowboys, or Saints. For now, the Seahawks will pass on any trades with the belief that they’ll iron everything out between now and September.
Win or lose today, the Seahawks will finish with a sub-.500 record for the first time in Wilson’s tenure. Wilson, who missed three games with a broken finger, ranks in the middle of the pack in QBR with a 65.2% completion rate and 22 touchdowns against five interceptions.
Carroll, 70, has no retirement plans and hopes to stay in Seattle, Garafolo hears. Still, it’s not a given that the feeling is mutual. We may know more this week, when top front office officials meet with chairwoman Jody Allen to discuss the offseason ahead.
Cmon Russell time to move on. End your career chasing a ring somewhere else.
Denver, Miami, Pittsburg, Vegas, Cleveland, Washington, New York, Chicago or New Orleans.
Denver have the receivers and a solid defence plus you can help choose the coaches.
Pittsburg is a reach but they also have receivers, an amazing defence and very good coach.
Browns, you could be the hero that saves Ohio after LeBron. They have protection and a defence
It’s not totally his choice. I think it would be stupid to trade him right now. Only thing gain would be draft picks. Trading salary..still have cap hit. Finding a qb to replace can take years and many seasons…looks at other teams. They have money to spend this year.
QBs don’t switch teams in the prime of their career. It just doesn’t happen, especially when it’s a top 10 QB in the NFL with a Superbowl ring.
Ummm, Vegas, Chicago, and Cleveland all have QB’s. Gtfoh
I wonder if the Seahawks are headed for an awkward and messy divorce with Carroll. You have to wonder if his message has gone completely stale, and he apparently doesn’t want to leave.
They looked willing to play for Carroll today. If they spend on the two lines Seattle will be fine. Bring back dogs and spend on oline and dline hope the salary cap gets a good bump.
I don’t see any evidence that Pete has morphed into Tom Coughlan and alienated all the teams players. He’ll always have to live with that 1 yard pass in the SB but anyone they replace him with could be a lot worse.

We saw it the first time you posted it…
Someone really smart already mentioned this.
But does Russ plan to keep the Seahawks?
If he’s in a rush to get to that 500 sack level he might prefer to join the Giants.
As well they should. Top QBs are hard to come by and without one you’ll languish at .500 or worse as many teams do.
