Seattle Seahawks: We talk about Russell Wilson exploring his options
Ed Stein
Exercising executive privilege, I get the last word.
Wilson’s best fit is probably Denver, but the New York Giants can make the best deal. They send Daniel Jones, #10 this year, a third-round (from MIA) pick, and a fifth-round (from K.C.) pick for Russ. Despite the endorsement opportunities in the country’s biggest media market, it’s hard to see Russ accepting a trade to New York. He’d be running for his life on most pass plays because Big Blue has a worse offensive line than Seattle does.
I can also see Cleveland making a play for Russ. But the Browns don’t have the assets unless they take out a hefty mortgage on the franchise’s future.
Jones and Baker Mayfield are interesting options to lead the Seattle Seahawks. After careful thought, I wouldn’t take either of them. Also, there are no free agent quarterbacks worth pursuing, and this QB class isn’t very good. No, Russ doesn’t get traded.
Final Thoughts
If the Seattle Seahawks were to trade Wilson, our consensus is Denver is both a good fit and has the draft picks to make a deal. Yet four out of the five of us think RW3 stays put in the Emerald City. One of the biggest reasons being there isn’t a decent enough replacement in free agency or the draft to replace him.
