Seahawks star Russell Wilson will be on hand for the Seahawks’ voluntary offseason team activities (Twitter link via Jake Heaps of 710 ESPN). Wilson has been upset with the team’s inability to build a strong offensive line around him, but it appears that he’s now on the same page with Pete Carroll & Co. 
The Seahawks haven’t exactly overhauled the O-Line, but they did trade for talented right guard Gabe Jackson. They also explored a trade for Julio Jones to give Wilson another weapon alongside D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, but the Titans beat them to the punch on Sunday. So, while Wilson didn’t get everything he wanted, it seems like he’s willing and ready to stay in Seattle. That’s consistent with what he told newcomer Carlos Dunlap, who re-signed with the team in March.
“I did ask him if, obviously, he was going to be with us. Because if I’m coming back, I’m coming back because I see him as my quarterback — and the rest of the team. I want to pick up where we left off,” Dunlap said. “And he told me that he’s with us and that he’s here to stay.”
Wilson is one of less than ten players in the NFL to hold a no-trade clause. With that leverage, he told the Seahawks that he’d be willing to play for the Bears, Raiders, Saints, or Cowboys. Ultimately, nothing came of that — the Seahawks rebuffed every call to keep their franchise QB and avoid a whopping $39MM in dead money on the cap.
I would really like to know what Russ thought of coughing up 2 1st’s for a strong safety. Always thought that was a bad trade for Seattle.
Ya but he’s a great player and at the time it was a need. Yes 2 firsts is brutal to give up but overall I would say it was a good move.
It was a horrible move out of desperation for pass rush, which Adams only provides if he neglects coverage.
I don’t think they planned on acquiring a safety for pass rush. Who does that?
It just kinda worked out that way as the season progressed, by default.
There was not a player as good as Adams when Seattle would have picked and there won’t be next draft unless something really bad happens. Therefore it was a good trade. Also when a player blitzes he doesn’t have a coverage assignment so how can he neglect it. If they fail to sign him long term then I will change my thoughts but only then.
His reaction via Twitter was “Let’s get it!!!” July 25, 2020
They didn’t need to overhaul the Oline. They have brown an Jackson on the left side Lewis is fine at right tackle they have a few guys they can try out at right tackle. They could use a center but pocic is fine. But Wilson need to learn to not hold the ball 30 seconds every play. Plus when you scramble it’s gonna be hard for them to block because they don’t know were you’re gonna be.
I would love for this guy to be my teams qb
