Seahawks has received calls about Russell Wilson from a third of NFL teams, some clubs are predicting QB price, compared

Russell Wilson made a lot of waves throughout the short 2021 offseason season. So much so that about a third of the league called the Seattle Seahawks to see what it would take to acquire the quarterback. superstar via trade, according to Michael Silver of the NFL Network. While Seattle isn’t purely and simply Wilson shopping, teams are calling and Silver has called GM John Schneider someone who “listens to anything and everything,” suggesting the club can’t immediately hang up. those curious clubs. Seattle’s potential willingness to listen to offers on Wilson is also something CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora noted previously.

Ultimately, however, a good portion of that magnitude comes down to the price. What would it actually take to land Wilson and would the teams be willing to pay for it? Silver reports that clubs in the league believe the conversation begins with three first-round draft picks. Again, this might just be the starting point for acquiring the eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback. So far, it’s unclear whether a club is on the verge of hitting that target, but, given Wilson’s talent, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him bring in a pretty massive comeback for the Seahawks. they finally decide to move on.

Rumors of a Wilson-Seahawks divorce really jumped into high gear when the quarterback made public his desire to have his voice heard in personnel decisions. He also brought out his frustrations at getting hit too much. The 32-year-old’s decision to make his feelings known publicly, according to reports, was not very well received by officials in Seattle, which helped kick off this potential blockbuster.

Wilson is under contract for the next three seasons and is offered at a fairly affordable price, making him an even more desirable commercial target for needy QB teams. His average base salary during the 2023 season is just $ 20 million.

That said, Silver pointed out that Seattle got the message Wilson gave and it appears their preference is to try and sort out the issues with their franchise caller. If they can’t, however, this is just another superstar name to add to the roster of players who could be on the move during what could be one of the wildest offseason in recent memory.
