Russell Wilson Reportedly Weighing His Options For Offseason Trade​

Here we go again with Russell Wilson…

For the bulk of last year’s offseason, the internet was flooded with rumors of a Wilson trade. And while the QB didn’t ever come out and ask to be traded, his agent did provide the Seahawks with a handful of teams the superstar quarterback would be interested in playing for.

Despite all that, Russell Wilson returned to Seattle prior to the start of last season, saying and doing all the right things. But now, we’re back to square one.

After the Seahawks failed to make the postseason, Wilson is reportedly weighing what his options would be on the trade market.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport went on “The Pat McAfee Show” to speak on the current mindset of Russell Wilson.

“Russ wants to know his options. I’m not saying he’s definitely going to go, but he wants to look around and see,” Rapoport said. “If you’re Seattle, it’s the same problem they’ve had the last few years. Even if they get a great offer, who is actually going to be their quarterback and how quickly can they rebuild? Because Pete Carroll is going to be 71, and he doesn’t want it to be a full-year rebuild. I wouldn’t rule out a trade, but it has to be a no-brainer and they have to know the answer to the next question as well.”

After the season concluded, Russell Wilson maintained that he wants to be in Seattle until he retires, but also acknowledged that it isn’t entirely up to him whether or not that happens.

But there has to be something to all these rumors that he’s looking around. And it isn’t like it’s anything new. When we did this whole song and dance lat year, it was reported that Russ was getting a little fed up with how Pete Carroll and the Seahawks’ brass don’t ask his input on the roster, and I’d expect those feelings are probably still there.

It’ll still take a massive haul for any team to land Russell Wilson in a trade. But buckle up, we’re going to have another offseason with these rumors swirling around.

Wilson is simply leveraging his "no trade" clause to get some OLine help!

Hard to visualize Wilson out of Seattle. It is going to be interesting to see what Seattle’s strategy is, but my money is on Wilson staying put.

Pete isn’t doing a rebuild at his age.

Despite the fact that he plays for Seattle, I've always liked and respected Wilson. He's a tough dude who hasn't had a decent offensive line in awhile. He's carried that team on his back the last few years. Without him, they're rebuilding. The NFC is going to be interesting next year. With Brady gone and Rodgers possibly headed to Denver or Tennessee, Stafford, Dak, and Wilson are the premiere QBs left in the conference. The toughness and savvy that Stafford has shown this year is really something. To think it's his first year here with the Rams. Let's hope we can keep the core of this group together for the next 4-5 years.
I'm in the same boat. I have respect for Wison too, but of course can't stand his team or HC, though I hate them less than the Dirty Whiners and Redturds probably because of Wilson. Dude has taken some shots with his swiss cheez OL.
