Russell Wilson, as we’ve found out recently, doesn’t seem very happy with what’s going on in Seattle.
Among his complaints? He’s getting hit too much by opposing pass-rushers, which has reportedly led to trade talk.
With J.J. Watt signing with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday, that became the focus for a lot of NFL fans: basically, “Uh-oh, Wilson has to face yet another stud pass-rusher. WELP.”
That’s correct. There’s Watt and Chandler Jones with the Cards, Aaron Donald with the Los Angeles Rams and Nick Bosa with the San Francisco 49ers. Wilson will have to face them six times a year going forward.
Here’s a sampling of the reaction:
You’ve gotta be kidding me….
Rams: Top 5 Defensive Line led by Aaron Donald
49ers: Top 5 Defensive Line led by Nick Bosa
Cardinals: Chandler Jones & JJ Watt
Seahawks might want REALLY want take the offensive line acquisition this offseason seriously. https://t.co/X7aufhjCCS

The NFC West now has:
– Aaron Donald/Leonard Floyd
– J.J. Watt/Chandler Jones
– Nick Bosa/Arik ArmsteadSee why Russell Wilson wants an offensive line not built out of smoked salmon and Starbucks coffee grounds?

If Russell Wilson stays in Seattle, he'll have to face the likes of Aaron Donald, Nick Bosa, Chandler Jones and J.J. Watt twice a year.
All the more reason for him to demand a trade to the #Bears!

Good news for Russell Wilson is he won't have to face J.J. Watt twice a year. I mean, since he's totally getting trade to the Bears.

Russell Wilson is the most sacked QB through the first 9 seasons of a career since the merger.
Now JJ Watt is in his division on top of Chandler Jones, Aaron Donald and Nick Bosa. pic.twitter.com/2vDX0o5e1j
