Seattle Seahawks are trying to appease Russell Wilson, is it too late?
Team Russ
His agent won’t make up a trade list then tell the press about it in-season. No, that kind of tactic is used during the players’ contract negotiations or in the offseason.
There’s also the fact an agent won’t do something to hurt the brand/reputation of his client (unless he’s an idiot). So, for Wilson’s agent to release that information, he had to have Russ’ approval.
This also leads to Wilson’s narrative when asked about the report “It wasn’t me.” Ah, the classic Shaggy defense from the pop song in the early 2000s. In other words, plausible deniability.
Yes, Russ, we all know it wasn’t you who actually said the words. However, most of us aren’t morons. It’s not hard to figure out that you had a part in that report coming out. Just like you have a hand in the latest report about waiving your no-trade clause for specific teams. “It wasn’t me.” Same story, same process, different day.
So, why now has the Seattle Seahawks offense shown more creativity? Because Wilson is unhappy again and wants out. He threw a tantrum last offseason about wanting a bigger voice in selecting the new offensive coordinator. Russ got his wish but did he get HIS guy?
