Seahawks fans were treated to endless rumors and speculation about a potential Russell Wilson trade last offseason. It seems we’re in for another round of it in 2022. According to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, Wilson hasn’t demanded a trade but he does want to explore his options outside of Seattle this offseason.
“And just like last year, sources say Russell Wilson wants to explore his options to see what else might be out there for him. Wilson has not demanded a trade, and it’s not clear if he will. But at the least, those close to Wilson say he wants to investigate other destinations to see if those would put him in a better position to win another championship and create the legacy he sees for himself.”
The problem with that idea is that there are only a handful of teams that might give Wilson a better chance to win another Super Bowl, and they all have franchise quarterbacks of their own.
Our best guess is that Wilson isn’t going anywhere, but it’s too early to tell if this is just typical offseason chatter or if Wilson really is discontent with the situation in Seattle.
For what it’s worth, the Seahawks say they have no plans to trade Wilson.
