The Washington commander clearly intends to bring in a top quarterback for the 2022 season. According to US media reports, this quarterback should not look like Russell Wilson now. Because the Seattle Seahawks rejected multiple first-round deal requests from Washington, such chips were obviously quite a lot, and in the eyes of the commander, it was enough to bring Wilson to Washington, but the Seahawks refused.
Washington has reportedly been actively engaging with other teams to get a quarterback. In recent years, Although the strength of The Roster is average, Washington has remained competitive, arguably only one reliable quarterback. They had a 7-10 record last season, and their starting quarterback was Taylor Hennick.
The rejection of the deal suggests that the two teams have less than two weeks left to open the free market and can think hard about the future. Washington is looking for a quarterback in the market, both in the free agent market and in the upcoming draft. And Seattle, at least for now they control Wilson.
Wilson was also recently asked if it was possible to play for the Commander next season, to which he replied: "I like the East Coast, but I think the West Coast is better for me now. My family is here, I'm from Richmond (Virginia), and I see what you mean. I was advised every day, all of them were my friends on the East Coast. ”
Wilson head coach Pete Carroll said in an interview at the NFL rookie physical observation camp these two days that the team has received a trading call about Wilson. Nine years ago, Carroll, along with Wilson, led the Seahawks to the team's first Super Bowl title. Carroll added that the team was reluctant to let the 33-year-old quarterback go.
Carroll said in an interview: "We talk about everyone, for us, it's normal for us to talk to the team about the future of every player. Especially the main players, this has not changed, that's what we do every year. We're not going to do anything, but John has to deal with it, and he's always been. ”
Wilson is undoubtedly one of the pinnacle Seahawks' iconic players, and this group may also include Outside Hall of Fame receiver Steve Largent, running back Marshon Lynch, and cornerback Richard Sherman. Under Wilson' leadership, the Seahawks have achieved a regular-season record of 104 wins and 53 losses in recent years. In Wilson's 10 years with the team, the Seahawks made eight playoff appearances, including winning the Super Bowl in 2013 and defending the National League championship in 2014.
The 2021 season was a tough one for both Wilson and the Seahawks, with a team record of 7-10, the seahawks' worst season since 7-9 in 2011. The good news is that the Seahawks have six more draft picks this year, which should allow them to address some pressing needs.
