Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wasn’t shy during one of his interviews this year during Super Bowl week. Wilson wants more superstars on the team.
“I think we need a couple more,” Wilson told ESPN during a Pro Bowl interview. “I think we need a couple more. Jadeveon is a big-time guy that we would love to get back on our football team. He was so good in the locker room. He brought so many just havoc plays to the field. Hopefully, we can get a few other players there on the defense. Then also on offense, we have a great offense, but I think we can always add more pieces.”
Many questioned Wilson’s comments at the time but Seahawks general manager John Schneider stands by his quarterback.
“I agree,” Schneider said Tuesday during his combine press conference. “We all want superstars. We all want great players. I think Pete (Carroll) would say the same thing. I stay awake at night, my gut churns all the time thinking about how we can improve in every aspect of our football operation. We’re doing it non-stop, and we have been ever since we walked in the doors here, and we’ll keep it rolling.”
The Seahawks will have plenty of potential superstars to scout this week in Indianapolis ahead of April’s draft. Free agency is also right around the corner and Schneider undoubtedly has a few players he could court to Seattle.
