It was previously reported that the Chicago Bears offered the Seattle Seahawks three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and two starters for quarterback Russell Wilson.
The identities of the players included in the potential trade package were not initially mentioned, but NFL reporter Jason La Canfora revealed that his sources told him that star defenders Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks were in the conversation.
Pete Carroll reportedly wasn’t interested in completely rebuilding the team, so it is very likely that Wilson will stay in the Emerald City for the 2021 season.
Mack and Hicks would certainly have provided. some assistance to Seattle’s defensive line, but the cost of their quarterback and his staggering $39 million dead cap hit would prove to be too much.
