The Denver Broncos finally have their franchise quarterback, and it isn’t reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. Instead, the Broncos made a deal with the Seattle Seahawks and will have Pro Bowler Russell Wilson under center in 2022 and beyond.

The trade can’t be official before the start of the new league year, but the terms of the deal are already out there. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the trade package that the Seahawks received includes third-year QB Drew Lock, former first-round tight end Noah Fant, and defensive lineman Shelby Harris. Seattle is also getting two first-round picks, two second-round selections, and a fifth-rounder. As a part of the agreement, the Broncos will get Seattle’s fourth-round pick in 2022.

In order to facilitate the deal, Wilson waved his no-trade clause. The 33-year-old is already in Denver, where he passed his physical. 

Many believed that the Broncos were zeroed in on Rodgers as their preferred target, but sources around the league say that Denver never actually made an offer to the Green Bay Packers. Instead, they engaged in Wilson trade talks with the Seahawks several weeks ago and managed to hammer out a deal in recent days.

The Broncos’ motivation is clear. They have a talented young roster, for which many believe is only a QB away from being a Super Bowl contender. In Russell Wilson, they get a star who can maximize their potential while ending their exhausting search for a franchise quarterback that started when Peyton Manning retired.

The Seahawks, on the other hand, hit the reset button after realizing that they probably reached their ceiling with the current roster. They also speed up the inevitable divorce with Wilson, considering that the veteran already had issues with the organization and signaled he wanted out.

Wilson made 158 starts for Seattle since the franchise drafted him in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft. He has 104 wins, most by a QB in the history through his first 10 seasons in the league, and has helped the Seahawks win Super Bowl XLVIII. His individual accolades include nine Pro Bowl nods and one All-Pro selection.

It appears that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson won’t be on the move this offseason after all. Addressing rumors about Wilson’s future with the franchise at the NFL scouting combine on Wednesday, the team’s head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that the Seahawks “have no intention” to trade their star signal-caller.

According to Carroll, the rival NFL teams did reach out to test Wilson’s availability in recent weeks, but the Seahawks showed no interest in progressing those talks.

“We have no intention of making any move there, but the conversations, [general manager John Schneider] has to field those. He always has. But nothing specific to that,” Carroll explained.

The relationship between the Seahawks and Russell Wilson has been strained ever since the 33-year-old publicly expressed his frustrations about the lack of protection and Carroll’s offense after the 2020 NFL season. Wilson later reportedly handed Seattle a list of teams he would waive his no-trade clause for, while the franchise held exploratory talks with several teams. 

By the time the 2021 season kicked off, the two sides temporarily set aside their differences to focus on the new campaign. However, it turned out to be one of the most challenging in Wilson’s pro career, as he struggled with form and missed three games due to an injury. As a result, the Seahawks finished with a 7-10 record, marking the first time they finished under .500 in a decade.

While Wilson and the Seahawks still haven’t settled their differences, the trade doesn’t seem highly likely at the moment. Unless Seattle intends to enter a rebuild, having Wilson under center still gives them the best chance to be a contender in 2022 and beyond.

The Seattle Seahawks initially projected that their star quarterback Russell Wilson would be forced to miss between six and eight weeks after undergoing finger surgery. But Wilson had plans to beat that timetable from the get-go, and it seems he has managed to do it.

After being on the sidelines for just four weeks, Wilson returned to practice this week and is expected to play in the Week 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. According to the eight-time Pro Bowler, he is still “not 100 percent yet” but feels “pretty dang close.”

“I’ve been blessed to be able to play all the games I’ve been able to play and all the things I’ve been able to do so far in this league,” Wilson told reporters on Thursday. “I feel like it’s a new beginning, it’s a new start, and I feel like it’s time to get going again all over again.”

The Seahawks will be more than happy to welcome Russell Wilson sooner than expected, considering they are finding themselves in danger of missing out on the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They are currently sitting at a 3-5 record and don’t have much room for error if they want to salvage their season.

Wilson hurt his finger during the 26-17 loss to the LA Rams in Week 5 after banging his head on defensive end Aaron Donald’s helmet. The 32-year-old had a stellar campaign until then, completing career-high 72.0 percent of his passes while throwing for 1,196 yards and 10 touchdowns with only one interception.

Losing seems to be a new reality for the Seattle Seahawks after their starting quarterback Russell Wilson went down with a thumb injury in early October. The Seahawks were beaten 10-13 by the New Orleans Saints in Monday Night Football clash, which marked their third straight game without a win.

The loss against the Saints will especially sting Seattle, considering they were in good shape to come on top but wasted their chance due to some avoidable mistakes. This included QB Geno Smith holding onto the ball for too long and taking several unnecessary sacks.

But what arguably cost Seattle the most were missed field goals. Kicker Jason Myers first missed a 44-yarder early in the third quarter and then followed that up with a miss from 53 yards that would give the Seahawks the lead midway through the final period.

The Saints took advantage of it by making a field goal of their own under two minutes and then stopping Seattle’s offense on the following drive.

Speaking with reporters after the game, the Seahawks’ linebacker Bobby Wagner admitted that his team needs to clean up their mistakes if they want to turn things around.

“We’re executing. We’re making plays. We’re just having costly mistakes or costly penalties in the wrong moment,” Wagner said.

This was the first time that the Seattle Seahawks lost three consecutive games since 2011. They have dropped to 2-5 and find themselves in real danger of missing the playoffs.

The New Orleans Saints, on the other hand, improved to a 4-2 record and are second in NFC South.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will reportedly miss 4-8 weeks of action after undergoing surgery on his finger. The 32-year-old star suffered a ruptured tendon in the middle finger of his right hand during his team’s 26-17 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.

Wilson underwent surgery on Friday morning and is expected to begin physical therapy over the course of the weekend. The Seahawks remain confident that Wilson will return to action later this season.

The decision to undergo surgery was made with Wilson’s long-term health in mind. Before becoming sidelined for the Seahawks’ next fixture against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Wilson had a streak of 149 consecutive appearances in the starting lineup. This streak is longer than that of any active quarterback. Only Peyton Manning has made more consecutive appearances with a figure of 208.

Despite the initial time estimate for Wilson’s absence from the team, coach Pete Carroll remains unsure of how long the player will actually be sidelined. He explained on Friday morning during his weekly radio show that until Wilson met with a hand specialist, the exact timeline for his recovery would remain uncertain.

Ties are a rare occurrence in the NFL, but when they do happen, they serve as a disappointment for everyone. Both teams believe they missed a chance to get a valuable win, while the fans feel they don’t have a reason to celebrate. This is why the Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson believes the league should eliminate ties altogether. And he’s even ready to help.

Wilson recently made a guest appearance on Peyton Manning and Eli Manning’s ManningCast, during which he witnessed overtime in the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Las Vegas Raiders. Watching it unfold, the Pro Bowl signal-caller outlined an intriguing solution that would make ties a thing of history.

“You go 15 minutes, an extra quarter, or however long that extra overtime is, and then if nobody scores, we all end in a tie and go home? How terrible is that?!”, Wilson told the Manning brothers.

According to Wilson, if the game is still tied after overtime, the teams should have a coin toss. The team that wins the toss then chooses whether to kick a long field goal or have another team make the FG attempt. If the kicking team makes the field goal, they take the win. If they miss, the other team ends on the winning end of the game.

“So now you get to choose, for one kick—are we going to kick it, or are they going to kick It? You have to kick it from the 35, or maybe the 40,” he explained.

The NFL is currently the only league among the four major leagues in the United States, the other three being NBA, MLB, and NHL, that has ties. The most recent tie took place early in the 2020 NFL season when the Cincinnati Bengals and the Philadelphia Eagles finished their Week 3 matchup 23-23 after overtime.

You rarely hear New England Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick praise his own players, let alone the ones playing for the opposing team. However, Belichick recently decided to make an exception for Seattle Seahawks’ quarterback Russell Wilson.

Speaking with the media ahead of the Pats’ Week 2 meeting against Seattle, Belichick openly raved about Wilson, labeling him as underrated and “tremendous player.”

“Honestly, I think he’s in a way underrated by the media or the fans, I don’t know. But I don’t really see anybody better than this player,” said Belichick. “This guy is a tremendous player.”

According to Belichick, he is especially impressed by Wilson’s versatility.

“He can do everything,” he added. “He’s got obviously great leadership, playmaking skills. He plays very well in the most critical situations in the game. His decision-making, running, passing.”

Belichick faced Russell Wilson four times in the past, recording two wins and two losses in those games. One of those wins came in Super Bowl XLIX when the Pats defeated Seattle thanks to Wilson’s interception.

But New England probably doesn’t expect Wilson to make similar mistakes, considering he now has a future Hall of Famer resume. The 31-year-old signal-caller was especially on a tear in the past three seasons, having thrown 30+ touchdowns in each one. No other QB managed to do this in the same period.

Wilson also had a great start of 2020 NFL season, leading Seattle to Week 1 win against Atlanta Falcons with 322 passing yards and four touchdowns.

Seattle Seahawks have given their quarterback Russell Wilson a record four-year, $140 million extension during the season, and it seems to be a great decision so far. Wilson has led the Seahawks to three wins in the first four games of 2019 while putting on some excellent performances during that stretch.

Wilson is currently completing a career-high 72.9 percent of his passes, while throwing for 1,141 and eight touchdowns. He is also only one of four QBs who haven’t threw an interception this season.

This all caused Seattle’s head coach Pete Carroll to treat his QB with some well-deserved praise on Thursday. According to Carroll, Wilson is currently playing the best football of his career.

“Russell is off to a really good start,” – said Carroll. “He’s playing great football, it’s the best he’s ever been.”

Asked to comment on this, Wilson agreed he has been good lately, but still thinks he can do better.

“I think I’m playing good,” – Wilson shared. “I think there’s some more things out there you can always try to do. I wish I could’ve found a way to win the game, the game we lost against the Saints. I wish I had that one back, somehow.”

Russell Wilson will have the opportunity to make up for the loss against Saints on Thursday when Seahawks meet Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have been a nightmare matchup for Seattle in recent years, beating them six out of eight times and handing them three defeats. If Wilson manages to dice through Rams defense, then there will be no doubt that he is the best or close to best he ever was.

Earlier this month quarterback Russell Wilson reportedly told Seattle Seahawks that he wants a new contract extension and that he wants it soon. But it seems like that isn’t the only thing Wilson wants, at least according to Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu.

Mathieu went on Twitter on Sunday and wrote that Wilson would like to play football in New York.

“Russ wants New York,” – the Mathieu wrote. “But you ain’t heard that from T..”

While Mathieu’s comments might be disregarded as just a random tweet, Chiefs safety said numerous times that he respects Russell Wilson and admires his football skills. This makes it unlikely for his comments to be just an attempt to get the flood of rumors going. Also, this isn’t the first time that Wilson-New York link was mentioned.

Earlier in the year, Fox’ Colin Cowherd reported that he got inside info that Wilson would like to play for the New York Giants at some point in his career. According to Cowherd’s source, this was largely influenced by the 30-year-old QB’s wife and singer Ciara who would prefer to live in New York than in Seattle.

It remains to be seen whether Russell Wilson sticks with Seahawks and signs another big deal or leaves for Big Apple when his contract expires. Wilson currently has one year left on his deal, but Seattle can place franchise tag on him for 2020 which would be around $30.34 million. Giants, on the other hand, might not be willing to spend the capital needed to bring him via trade.

The Seattle Seahawks’ quarterback finds his patience running out. Russell Wilson gave his team an April 15th deadline to agree to a new deal.

Wilson is currently in the final year of his current contract with the team, and he has expressed his desire for a new deal to the team in recent weeks. On Tuesday, he informed the team of his desire to finish the new contract before the start of off-season workouts in mid-April.

The quarterback’s current contract with the team was signed in 2015, when Seattle gave Wilson a four-year, $88 million dollar deal that is set to run out at the end of 2019. This deal is the second-most expensive in the sport for a quarterback, trailing only Aaron Rodgers of the Packers.

Wilson is coming off one of his best seasons in 2018. The 30-year-old quarterback threw for 3,448 yards, 35 touchdowns, and only 7 interceptions. He was named to the Pro Bowl for the sixth time in his career last season.

Although it is still unclear what exactly will happen if the team doesn’t provide Wilson with a suitable offer before the April 15th deadline, it’s possible that he will either hold out or refuse to renew his stay with the team.
