Before trade talks regarding Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers wanting a trade took center stage, there was another quarterback who seemingly looked to be on the move. And that was none other than Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson.

Things even escalated to the point where Wilson’s agent released a list of team’s he’d liked to be traded to. But since then the Seahawks and Wilson seem to have reached some sort of consensus.

While it did put an end to rumors of the franchise QB being traded, one can’t help but wonder what’s truly happening down in Seattle. It’s not like the franchise revamped their 0-line over the offseason like the Kansas City Chiefs. Neither did they seemingly make any changes to Wilson’s contract.

“You never want to be dealing with contract situations in training camp. But they actually got two situations that they’re dealing with. Not only Dwayne Brown, but Jamal Adams, who they traded for from the New York Jets.

Two of their best players are unhappy as far as their contracts are concerned… So don’t think these things aren’t in the back of Russell Wilson’s mind.” said Woodley.

With the Seahawks unable to make any major moves due to their limited cap space, Woodley feels that Wilson could well leave at the end of the season.

“Russell Wilson has come out and said they should have the best offensive in the league. If they don’t come out fine, don’t think that this is not going to play out after the season is over.
