Seattle Seahawks: Trading Wilson to NYG is good for everyone but Russ
Bad for Russell Wilson
Before going into all the reasons why this trade is bad for Russ, here are two good ones. First, it increases his post-playing career opportunities. Second, he has an up-and-coming left tackle, Andrew Thomas, to watch his blindside.
Aside from Thomas, the Giants’ offensive line is horrible. If Wilson didn’t like what was in front of him in Seattle, he’ll absolutely hate what he’d have in New York. This season, Russ spent less time running out of pressure.
Tight end Evan Engram is on his way out, and receiver Sterling Shepard is a likely cap casualty. That leaves Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney as his main targets. A far cry from Metcalf and Lockett.
Wilson should be prepared to take a beating behind a shaky offensive line and without great receivers to bail him out. Even worse, it’s still New York, and everything is magnified. After a brief honeymoon (that should last about two games), his every mistake will be magnified (in at least four languages) on the back of every tabloid, on three or four all-sports talk radio stations, and at least half-a-dozen local news channels;
