If not the Seahawks in 2021, where will Russell Wilson play?

While it seems more likely that a trade for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will happen no earlier than next year, the situation seems to be changing quickly. Fueled by Wilson’s outspoken but delicate comments to Dan Patrick, some wonder if a trade could take place in 2021.

The fee caps for the Seahawks make a 2021 trade difficult, but not impossible. Before June 1, the Seahawks would take a $ 39 million capitalization boost by trading Wilson. After June 1, the Seahawks would carry $ 13 million this year and $ 26 million in 2022. With little to no offseason schedule planned for the second straight offseason, waiting to trade Wilson after June 1 wouldn’t be so. crazy a normal year.

So if an exchange were to take place, where would Wilson go? The folks at PointsBet have set the odds.

The favorite is the Raiders, at +450. Next come the Cowboys, with +650.

The Jaguars land at +750, which would presumably involve a general first-choice trade to Seattle. Next are Washington at +800, the 49ers at +900 (this does not happen), the Broncos at +1000, the Colts at +1100, and the Dolphins at +1300.

Keep an eye out for the Cowboys. It’s a team that has been on the radar screen as Wilson’s potential destination for some time. And that actually makes a lot of sense for 2022, if the Cowboys can’t strike a long-term deal with Dak Prescott.

Given that the Cowboys are expected to offer a 44% increase from Prescott’s $ 37 million franchise offer in 2021 to tag him a third time, this could be the time when the Cowboys will play a role for someone. one like Wilson.

But it might be too late. Wilson has launched a multi-pronged media attack, and he’s winning. No one is mad at Wilson for saying what he said on Tuesday, and fans and the media seem to agree with his fear that the Seahawks haven’t put enough talent around him over the course of the last years.
