nycdan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 We don't want Wilson at a huge cost. We just want someone else to get him. Without Russ, SEA is a 5-win team at best. That means a top-5 draft pick for us next year. Profit! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addage Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I don't have a feel for why, but RW has never been a popular figure on the team or (to a lesser extent) in Seattle overall. That feeds the rumors. Their cap issues are big so that also fuels the Wilson rumors. As to the "can't win with Wilson" talk, just shows the Jets don't have a monopoly on crazy fans. Finally, we are in the media "silly season". It's the media equivalent of "bad pr is better than no pr". Egos must be stoked. Rappaport has a deadline, and this is how he figured to meet it. In the fight for clicks, truth is a collateral damage casualty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Is Great Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 It's an easy media-driven narrative considering how poorly Wilson played during the second half of the season, outside of the game against the Jets, of course. I don't know if he's done but he was horrible from Week 10 onward. It was a struggle to throw for 200 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll never win another Super Bowl with him after gutting their future for a Safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be a top-10, maybe top-5 pick if they somehow end up with Geno as their starting QB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 When Seattle was great they had a tough as nails young aggressive D and the ran the ball down people's throats. Wilson was really good but it was a hard scrabble team and the 12th man. Now the team is Wilson, he's not particularly likable and he seems to wear down during the playoffs when he's asked to carry the load. I could see where a lot of Seattle fans would like to get back to tough team instead of a cult of personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if salary cap weren't an issue, Wilson to the Saints would be a perfect transition from Brees. But the numbers make that impossible.

jetscrazey Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 They are absolutely not fielding offers for Wilson. Wilson's camp simply leaked a report that they want the organization to prioritize o-line. They probably regret the Adams trade, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I honestly think all of the NFL GM's saw these trade ideas for Watson being 4-5 first rounders and put out little leaks somewhere on their QB to see if they could get that great trade as well.

Jetlife33 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is frustrated with the team’s inability to construct a solid offensive line, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com (on Twitter) hears. The eight-time Pro Bowler has been sacked nearly 400 times across nine seasons, making Wilson’s camp nervous about his health, longevity, and potential to win moving forward in Seattle.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Just more of some of the same. But where there is smoke.... If Seahawks ever moved on from Wilson we would be in great shape for next years draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex-n-effect Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Teams are feeling each other out for information. Other teams are testing whether Seattle is open to a trade which might suggest they are open to trading Wilson or that they have cap concerns that might put other players up for trade. Seattle is taking the calls to see who might not love their QB and see what they might put on the block to trade. That can help them make decisions on player/draft trades down the line. You can't take any of this to really mean anything, especially when factoring in that some of this might be leaking out intentionally or completely made up.

Completely agree. The Rams sent 2 firsts and a third to Detroit as incentive to eat the contract. So, for those who are in the GO GET A QB camp, here is an accounting of the Ram's Jared Goff experience. The Rams got and got rid of Jared Goff and they also got a 4th round pick. The Rams gave up: 4 first round picks, 2 second round picks, and 3 third round picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
