For the better part of a year, there have been rumblings that Russell Wilson could be looking to play elsewhere in 2022. However, during an interview with SiriusXM’s Chris Russo, the quarterback indicated that he wants to stick with the Seahawks.
“I’ve been fortunate to be able to play 10 amazing years in Seattle,” Wilson said (h/t to Daniel Chavkin of SI.com). “My hope and goal is to be back there and keep winning there. That’s the vision, that’s the goal. That’s always been it, never been anything different.”
The most recent report indicated that the organization planned to retain Wilson, though the team wouldn’t say anything different at this point and risk losing leverage in trade talks. The Seahawks’ commitment to Wilson hasn’t stopped the trade chatter; Ian Rapoport of NFL.com later reported that Wilson wants to at least “explore his options” this offseason.
Wilson’s camp has made it clear that he hasn’t (and probably won’t) demand a trade; rather, he simply wanted to explore whether another club might offer him opportunities that the Seahawks cannot. Last February, of course, his agent told the club that Wilson would waive his no-trade clause if he were to be dealt to the Cowboys, Bears, Raiders, and Saints, and in December, a report surfaced indicating that Wilson would approve a trade to the Broncos, Giants, or Saints.
This past season, Wilson missed a handful of games with a broken finger, and he had a sub-.500 record (6-8) for the first time in his career. However, the 33-year-old was still plenty productive, tossing 25 touchdowns vs. six interceptions while adding another two scores on the ground.
*Wonder IF he ~added/ Would add the Oppy to come to DC, tho!!?
Truer words were never spoken!
He’s never wanted out. It’s just a bunch of garbage the media likes to push.
For reals media does anything to get them clicks or story’s lol
This whole crap about Wilson wanting to play elsewhere is all Media driven. He had issues about the hawks not investing in offensive line help around a year ago and the media ran with it that he wanted out. He’s already gone on record that he wants to play in Seattle and Seattle wants him too. End of story
Ya but that doesn’t get clicks bruh
Well what’s he going to say? “This team is dog water and I want out.” Of course he’s going to say the right things in front of cameras and people with tape recorders.
Russell Wilson sitting next to the commissioner at the Super Bowl. I wonder what they was talking about. Maybe Russell Wilson will be on the move to another team next season.
“Hey Russell, thanks for sitting here next to me. After the Flores thing, I really needed to be seen in public next to a black guy.”
Yep Yep
Hahahahahaha
He’s mixed
Looks like Russell Wilson’s got more than one Future on his mind
Wilson is one of those players who will always be productive no matter where he is. The Seahawks, however, should do some work to tide him over. They have a couple of great receivers, but other than Duane Brown, there isn’t much history of them investing in pass blockers for Wilson. Wilson holds the ball and scrambles around behind the line often, which does make it harder, but there have been few good pure pass blockers in Seattle recently-other than Brown and Britt.
The real problem though is the defense. The Seahawks could get away with a strong run game and could survive with offensive hiccups before, but that defense just needs talent. They had a great stretch with some great players, but right now, they need help salvaging that side of the ball. Some more high end players might be the best way to do that, moreso than minor coaching changes.
Agreed. If they can shore up their defense quickly like the cowboys did recently, and re-sign rus, I could see them making another run.
He saw how they did deshaun and changed his mind.
Deshaun has no one to blame but himself.
Maybe for cheating on his fiancee but what they doing to him is a witch hunt.
