Report: Seahawks turning away Russell Wilson trade offers

Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson seems intent on showing the Seattle Seahawks that he is unhappy with the current state of the team, and that has naturally led to a great deal of trade speculation. Unless the situation takes a very ugly turn, it seems unlikely that the quarterback is going anywhere.

A report earlier in the week claimed Wilson is unhappy with Seattle’s offensive line. Wilson then essentially confirmed the report during an appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show,” also admitting he wants more say in the Seahawks’ personnel decisions.

All of that has resulted in teams calling the Seahawks to gauge their interest in trading Wilson. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Seattle has not entertained those calls.

That does not mean the Seahawks are thrilled with Wilson. After Wilson’s appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show,” Patrick spoke with a source who said the team is not pleased that Wilson has decided to air his grievances publicly.

The situation between Wilson and the Seahawks doesn’t sound nearly as toxic as what we have seen with Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans. That said, there is clearly a disconnect somewhere.

Wilson has a no-trade clause in his contract. Trading him would result in a $39 million dead cap hit for the Seahawks. Those are two of the many reasons a deal seems extremely farfetched at this point.

One former Seahawks player recently cautioned Wilson against calling out his offensive line. Despite that, the 32-year-old seems intent on letting his teammates and management know there are some issues he wants addressed.
