Russell Wilson joined the Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday to discuss a number of topics, including his offseason, the NFL’s expansion to a 17-game regular season and resulting playoff implications, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, baseball, and the desire to win it all in Seattle.
Of course, a chunk of the conversation centered around the myriad of offseason drama surrounding Wilson’s relationship with the Seahawks organization. He assured Patrick his relationship with head coach Pete Carroll is stronger than ever.
“Me and Pete have gotten even closer,” Wilson said. “We’ve always been super close. Pete and I, we’ve always had a great bond. I think we got to have a great heart-to-heart. He’s got goals. I’ve got goals. We want to do great things. To actually really dive into those and really talk about those missions, those goals, it was fun. So, I think me and coach Carroll’s relationship is stronger than ever and I think that’s the best part about it and also my teammates. We’re pumped about the season and getting back to playing ball and snapping the ball and scoring touchdowns and winning games.”
Wilson expressed his excitement about returning to the field with his teammates and getting to see fans at Lumen Field in 2021, but most importantly, getting another chance to win it all.
“I think more than anything else, you know what I care about, I care about winning,” Wilson said. “That’s what I want to do. So I just put my cleats on every day, and that’s always been my focus, that’s always been my goal.”
