Amid rumors that Russell Wilson could be traded, the Seattle Seahawks star says he is “not sure” if he is available for a possible deal.
In The Dan Patrick Show, Wilson stated that “definitely “think the Seahawks got calls about their availability:
Speculation about Wilson’s future in Seattle surfaced on Monday, when Jason La Canfora of 105.7 Fan reported that people from the Pro Bowler’s eighth team “he became increasingly frustrated “by the lack of protection of the offensive line during his career.
The same interview with Dan Patrick, Wilson stated that he expects “play Seattle forever. “
It is no secret that the Seahawks have had problems with passing protection over the years. Ben Linsey from Pro Football Focus noted that the Seattle offensive line ranked 16th in the blocking of passes in 2020, its highest ranking in this Wilson-era category (since 2012).
Wilson has been fired at least 41 times in each of the past eight seasons and 394 times since his debut year.
He will earn $ 59 million in base salary over the next three seasons together. Its upper limit will go from $ 32 million in 2021 to $ 37 million in 2022 and $ 39 million in 2023, for Spotrac.
It seems unlikely that the Seahawks will attempt to negotiate with Wilson out of an NFC West title in 2020. He played for 4,212 yards and 40 touchdowns and had a 68.8 completion percentage.
